Where's all the Icon skins?

Wake up!

Monday, December 24, 2007 by Buttermaker | Discussion: Icons

Hey everyone, I hate to be one of those people that complains, but for the past month (since Nov 24th), there as been no new IconPackager skins/themes. Is there a strike I am not aware of? I enjoy installing new themes on my Vista 64 but haven't been as of late. I would like to know where my money goes to pay for OD. If there is no new skins, then someone is getting rich

I think you need a wake up call pal. People make icon packages as a hobby, they do it for free. It takes a lot of hard work to produce a complete package, and many months.

No one gets rich making skins. They do it for the love of skinning and not for any renumeration. A little appreciation of their hard work and dedication would be nice   

The money for OD goes to pay for the program and its development. That has nothing to do with the skins uploaded here.

People don't sell their icons, buttermaker. The only ones that are for sale are the 3 sets in the WC store. You ever see a "master Icon Package"? Didn't think so.

Mormegil could make one, and it would sell like hot cakes....

and as a side note, the 3 sets of icons that are for sale in the WC store? they're all by Paul Boyer (aka Mormegil!)

If I want a change with themes and there isnt any new theme out then I try to search for some old themes either on my computer or on Wincustomize. The galleries here are too content rich that you cant say that you have tried everything and got bored of.
So just try to search.

There are 743 Icon Packages in the IP gallery.....surely there must be one or two you don't have, buttermaker.....

A good solution,buttermaker, would be to purchase Object Desktop...download Icon Developer, which is in the package, and make your own Icons. You'll get some good practice in the fine art of skinning or you'll be glad to use whatever is available at WC...or both.

Ah yes, there's nothing like a fresh batch of butter highly seasoned with ingratitude.
