you know thinking about it, if you become an affiliate, and are also doing commercial packs, that could be a good draw/bait for becoming an affiliate. The ability to also have some security built into your pack that works in conjunction with the skin engine, or a couple of common dll's for the SD products for error checking and some such.
just a thought, screwy as it might be and way of any conceivable mark

After reading this thread, I am going to QUIT using styleXP and got back to my stardock products. Whenever you ask StyleXP for new skins it takes you to themeXP. Since I don't want to be a part of anything illeagel, I'm gonna use DX instead and stick to this awesome site. I'm thinking about doing my own skins as well, wish me luck.

Kona 
Play around with it, open up some of the ones you like (DTX themes) and see how they put them together. Ask questions when stumped or wondering about something, definitly if you are wondering if it can do X and if not see if you and some others can brain storm possible solutions, it all helps everyone
That is my next silly human trick, my wife ordered a tablet so I can wait for it to start with my graphics, so now I can start playing around with bar designs and such I;ll be right there with you learning step by step !

kona....not everyone at themeXP.org is evil and/or nasty.....just a few...but like with anything, the bad eggs just seem more memorable, clouding one's opinion unfairly.
If you like styles, use them.....but just remember that some of the skins just 'may' be of dubious origin.
Keep a lookout and perhaps there will be less...

I experienced that prejudices the other way round yesterday at another site. Stardock / Wincustomize = evil, making some money doing skins = bad, no matter how many free skins were and are done by the same authors. Having another opinion as the site admins and even making them aware of some facts they have overseen (if by purpose or not)= deadly sin.

Never run from evil, confront it with good, always, it is the first to back down.

Sometimes I feel that way about this site: "Having another opinion as the site admins and even making them aware of some facts they have overseen (if by purpose or not)= deadly sin."
OH WELL
Back to the end of the line to await my punishment.

IPlural, I did authorize the Beacon ports. Thank you for asking.
I have denied permission to port my skins to msstyles in the past for the simple reason that I don't agree with TGT Soft's practice of selling a Windows crack as if it were a legitimate product. How they've remained in business, I don't know. But, it seems that many people in the msstyles camp don't understand copyright, and don't realize that they need permission to port something. Granted, TGT Soft isn't setting the best example there. So, I've given permission for a few msstyles ports. Maybe it will help spread the concept of permission.

From the looks of things, my apologies to those who do ask permission, whether you give permission or not, the ports end up being done. Certainly not by those who know the rules, but there is always someone out there who doesn't care about the rules.

Regarding the Corona skin, unless of course they actually are using Alexandrie's graphics, is that really a rip? Just taking a pulse here.

Pls Pls don't let bums like that cause you to stop makeing the "GOOD STUFF" hehe. I havent bought PixOS yet myself but only because I love toonXP too much to change it for now but hearing comments you might throw in the towel over wankers is truly depressing.
You make excellent stuff and I don't begrudge paying you for such work & I assume most here feel the same way.
Sounds like a few ppl are coming up with some ideas on how to help better protectskins and sets like yours from being hacked/ripped so pls don't give up!!!!
