Simplicity

Leave you feedback for skin authors who have published their skins on the Skins page

While i applaud you for trying, i have to point out the fact that this skin is hard to use simply because it lacks visible boundaries and distinction from other parts of the desktop. Sure, you can match it with a black background and keep it at the bottom of the desktop, but most people prefer to keep them on top, rendering it useless, as most programs/windows use light colors.

Such a concept would work if you converted it into a taskbar like form factor, though.
I shoot and ask questions later.

Take no offense of it.

It is bauhaus, i don't know who created or where it came from, a friend of mine sent me when i told him i was creating a skin, he suggested it and i really liked the font, but now i see that it is a comercial font so i ask the site moderators to delete the skin, sorry i really didn't knew.
Also logokas thanks you for your opinion i will try to do better next time.

Why don't you change the font in your skin and upload it again, overwriting the current skin?

I will try that, thanks.

Edit: can't do that, because some of the text is rasterized and i would have to go on a lot of trouble to redo all of them, anyway im thinking about releasing a new skin (just dont know when, only that will be soon) so i ask you to delete this one and then when i release the new one it will be everything ok. So please delete this one.

Commercial fonts should be okay as long as the font file itself is not packaged with it.

It can get you into alot of trouble if you do. Xion's userbase is small, so the chance of somebody who looks after commercial fonts showing up to inspect all of our skins, is little, but if one does show up, some skin authors can get into a pretty nasty mess, and at the very least, their skins are deleted.
I shoot and ask questions later.

At Mason69's request, I've removed the skin.
