Premium Suites
Wednesday, January 21, 2004 by Essencay | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
First off I'm not complaining about my purchase of ToonXP $8.95, it is easily worth it 
The graphics are great, and as a theme, the parts work well together. I just wouldn't consider it a premium suite, for a couple of reasons.
Documentation, almost every piece of software you purchase has some sort of readme file or pdf.
It should be updated. It really is a great theme, but should be updated to support the latest greatest from SD.
Completeness, a "Premium" suite should encompass your entire GUI. A logon screen and cursorXP pack should be included that is not available elsewhere.
After buying, I went to find a complimentary cursor and logon for it and found FauxS-Toon and I have that as my desktop, cursor and logon, I made a wallpaper out of the logon bmps and iCandy Junior icons. The only thing I'll use from the Toon-XP suite is probably some of the icons and some of the DX stuff.

well, that´s business ... a new suite generates money, updates don´t (maybe they should charge for them though).

updates make money. Ask the makers of high end games and Microsoft what updates do for them.

I'm not sure what it takes to update a skin....but it sure would be nice to see ToonXP with toolbar support and animation.
...not to mention the DX objects could use some updating too....
but hey.....I just bought it to help out WinCustomize during the drive...
