    Go there and ask them what Lebon14 is asking
    The answer will be biased for sure xD

    Anyway, I applied this skin with WB :


    Note : Wallpaper was my choice and now with Audition 1.5 open, I would usually have that ugly Win7 basic theme but now it looks good!

    Personaly i dont think it is worth it as i mentioned before there are plenty of first class themes out there that dont cost to have. so for me free is best
    i would have said so if i thought it was worth it.

    doesnt seem that special to me.
    if you are considering paying for it, this theme cost me £1.36 and has everything themed from clocks to wmp to folders

    boobah... the themes available (at least of most them) aren't costing anything (except if you go into the Premium Themes)... it's the software to apply them that cost something. The theme I currently have applied may not look special for you but I think it's pretty good. According to yours, ok, maybe it's worth 3$, but the thing is you need to go about apply everything yourself... What I mean is, hack the theme system so it can accept unsigned ones, resHack your clock and start button then install the icon set by yourself. Like I said, I don't want to do it myself so I can avoid screw-ups and... well, because I am lazy. Personnaly, I don't like your theme very much.

    Sure, I don't have a clock, icons and cursors but the theme skins what I want for me without much trouble. Maybe it isn't worth 20$ for you but the 20$ for me aren't for the themes but for the ease of using themes and the actual choice of themes. I only have to google "windowblinds themes" and there'll be a ton of sites offering them.

    Still evaluating the software. Might change my idea after the trial or during it.

    beauty is in the eye of the beholder , mr grims themes come with an installer so its one click of a button and the theme icons ,wmp, clock, folders etc are free and use 7tsp to install so 3 clicks of a button for them .
    i too am lazy and fairly unknowledgeable when it comes to theming and like an easy life and an attractive pc, all you have to do is make sure your system is patched.
    I also like the personal touch with mr grims themes he is a valued member of this forum and in the past i have been able to ask him for a theme that merged a taskbar from one theme and use the rest of another theme, the majority of the themes on virtual customs are free also.
    anyhow enjoy your theme and good luck with windowblinds
