Some themers put so much work into this stuff just because they enjoy making the mods and sharing them.
As did I!
Kudos!

... How many people paid?
There was some that REQUIRED you pay before you could use them. Meaning that they were password protected till you payed. So if anyone used it I guess they would have to pay.
Were they the best because theme users paid for their development, or just well done by a talented themer and a price attached to it?

And Kaleidoscope themes were easier to make than OS X themes.

Never fully got into the KScheme development, but I agree OS X is a handful.

... development tools were about as sparse...
You only needed Photoshop... and free ResEdit...

I forget my point on this, but yes, that's true.

I doubt extra money would enable most themers to produce more. Time cannot always be "bought."
If say, only 100 people used your theme. And you charged $1 per theme. That would be $100 dollars in your pocket for designing a theme. Now usually more than 100 people use a given theme.
You could offer me $10,000 right now and I still would not have the time to make a theme.

Well, not a good one.
