I have never saw a shareware guikit. I suppose it would upset all the mac GUI community. I bet nobody would pay for a software empty of good themes. Where are free Unsanity's guikits? |
Some themers put so much work into this stuff just because they enjoy making the mods and sharing them.
Kaleidoscope had plenty of good, well-designed themes that were free (Albie Wong, Kei Kinoshita, Takashi Izawa). Regarding cost: Some Kaleidoscope schemes asked for a shareware fee, or were donationware. How many people paid that? And how many were free compared to how many were for pay? Regarding development: The development tools were about as sparce as they are now.

You can sign up for their message boards/forum and, at the very least, co-miserate there. I've never seen an e-mail for bug reports, and I've looked. I think you have to buy tech$$$upport to make official feedback...

I think themers should release their themes as they see fit. If they want to make it shareware, fine. I doubt extra money would enable most themers to produce more. Time cannot always be "bought."

| we are averaging 3 themes a month which is really bad...and if i was Unsanity, i would be a bit worried. however, the facts are that on Macupdate alone there have been 350,000 downloads of themes!!! so i am guessing that in the past 2 years close to a million themes have bean downloaded! |
Maybe the rush in theme development will happen when we are able to break out of the UI restrictions Apple has put in place. Like going from Kaleidoscope 1.x --> 2.x.
