And this is supposed to make me willing to fork over $20? I don't think so, there is much better content for free.
Quite frankly, to make me pay it has to be better than just about anything out there, this just doesn't cut it. (sorry)
Of course there are many other reasons to subscribe, but I'm afraid this isn't one of them.

I have to say I am with Jobeleca on this one.
A good - but not great - WB skin (by Alexandrie?) and yet another colour variation of mormegil's FauxS-XP icons.
I always said that when the promised subscriber-only skins started to appear, then I would subscribe. My credit card is still in my wallet so far.

Okay, I'll try again, since we got a little off-topic...where can subscribers get this suite, or it is not quite ready for release yet? Is this just a teaser?

I'm with frogboy to joe. If you're that unhappy then don't subscribe!! I've always wondered about those people that take the time to call in on a voting line to vote "No or no comment". I say save your time, money and or effort.
Personally, I'm all for it! I think Stardock and Wincustomize both are one of the best deals you'll ever get. I've gotten 100 times the cost of this subscription in enjoyment. I'm excited everyday to see what's new, either with Stardock or Wincustomize. Keep it up! You can't find this kind of bargain at Wally World... and they're rolling them back!

My main point with the subscription was to support the web site, which is an awesome collection of skins. The fact that they "throw in" the SkinBrowser and now some premium skins wasn't my reason for shelling out the money...but we all have our own reasons, I'm sure.

To Frog and Radial,
My point was that this isn't exactly a premium quality skin. For an example of what I consider to be a premium quality skin take a look at XP Corona by Alexandrie which is a whole different level of quality from the one being offered here to subscribers only. XP Corona is definitely something I'd be willing to spend money for once it's completed.
I also believe I mentioned that there are other better reasons to subscribe. I plan to subscribe sometime in the next month or two for the SkinBrowser, the hope of better premium suites, and to contribute well deserved $$$ to WinCustomize.

I won't take part in the discussion about the content of the suite (would be a bit harsh for some people that are absolutely ungrateful to this site and what was,is and will be done here) but I guess this will appear in the file --> volumes menu of skinbrowser, right ?

Joe, Alexandrie made the WinCustomize premium skin and I can assure you it took more time and effort that the Corona skin.
And it also includes a complete set of new icons that are absolutely fantastic. Alpha blended icon support up to like 72x72 (perhaps higher, haven't tried).
It also comes with a pretty nify ObjectBar theme that makes use of hot keys and a nice menu skin.
The quality of the skin though is really good, it may not suit your tastes but it is still very good.
The suite will be available shortly and it's in .xptheme format (i.e. install WinStyles).

Ok, I'll refine my claim. I was purely referring to the WB component of the theme. When I was referring to lack of quality earlier, I was actually referring to attractivness and strong visual difference from standard Luna variants.
You are absolutely right in that it is a matter of taste, I apologize for deriding its technical quality.
A separate question, why are large parts of the Logika suite ($10) available for free? This especially makes no sense for people like me who only use WindowBlinds, and LogonStudio. Perhaps I'm wrong about this, but unless people like me are willing to support the site by buying it, why would I pay for something that's also available for free (unless it's an English translation of the suite
)?
