I still haven't gotten an answer on the chance of subskin(s)... Do I take that as a no?
Thanks,

if there was a subskin using traditional button locations, why would they call the skinpack "Unorthodox"? i think you folks are missing the entire concept of the pack. it's called "Unorthodox' for a reason. you should have guaged from the name of the pack and by viewing screenshots that the thought of tradtional skins never entered the equation. these skins are great examples of things that can be done by creative skinners within the windowblinds realm. each of these skins is great in its own way.

"Unorthodox" is not synonymous with "nonstandard button locations." Even if that were the case, it's not beyond the bounds of common sense to include "Orthodox" substyles with an "Unorthodox" skinpack. It's just a matter of how many of them you want to sell.

It defeats the point of creating an unusual set of skins though, as we'd be getting sales on the basis of them having standard versions, which people would be more inclined to use. Making 'regular' sub skins would negate the need to even make the Unorthodox versions.

One thing that becomes painfully obvious, now that I have one of them ultra-crisp TFT screens, is that WindowBlinds really needs to have alpha shaded borders implemented. Those rounded edges look plain nasty.

Maybe you should have gone for a thicker black edge instead of trying to cut it off a close to the gradient as possible.

Gee, Maybe instead of "asking" I should have just tried to get a refund. The themes are of no use to me the way they are, and yes, that's my problem. I will look allot closer before purchasing next time, if there is a next time....
Thanks Anyway!

I'm starting to think that if we had released a skin pack called "All these skins are green", people would start asking why there were no blue subskins.

No, if they were green and I wanted blue I just wouldn't have purchased them. I always thought I was helping by "purchasing" the premiere themes, never did I expect that on the one occasion that I have a quetion, and somewhat of a problem that I'd get this sort of treatment. Wow.
Later.

You received no ill treatment. We've answered question politely in this thread, your original one got overlooked, then you started with an attitude. Would have been simple enough to point it out to us without sarcasm instead of assuming there's some grand conspiracy against you.
Regarding your original question, no, there won't be any subskins. They would require quite a big reworking of all 5 skins.

Love the skins, guys. It takes some getting used to when I want to close a window and what-not, but that's half the fun! They look great and they function quite well. I'll have to say that my favorites are dissident and anomaly. I even made a wallpaper for anomaly, if anybody would be interested in seeing it. Nothing special. I'd upload it, but I believe I'd need some permission for that. Keep up the good work.

Well, I learned two lessons; do not question/request the Artists, and two; spend my money elsewhere. One correction: I believe I was more than nice in my posts, especially considering it took four days just for an answer.
Cya,

Word of advice: email is your friend. Not to mention a more direct avenue of communication than the comments on a newspost.
