Hi I am a relative newcomer to Desktop X and i wanted to know is there any child safe desktop themes out there? You know something where there is a limited number of choices open to the user I.E selected URL shortcuts / programs. I'd like to give my daughter her own user profile on this PC and have the theme start as soon as she logs in? Is the even possible?

One idea (other than introducing a tiered subs package) could be to "tax" really popular skins. So say once a skin reaches a 1000 downloads in a set period of time you could add a cost to download that skin. Maybe you could share any monies made by the download with the author. That way you wouldn't alienate skinners, but you get

Maybe I should say newer themes. These are 2 years old. Thats a good point. But my thoughts are Is there any discernible difference in the quality of the skins release daily on WC and the premium skins that are for sale? I say no!

I think everyone's being very harsh on wincustomize. I think that a lot people have come to expect free content on the net and think nothing of the vast amount of work that goes into making a site such as this work.
