BIG DEAL! I would much rather see them doing other things, not taking control of skins. There are more important issue to deal with than a pretty skin. Skins are a dime a dozen. Bug fixes are not and thats what we need.Originally posted by Website Rob
A very valid question. And what happens to the 'encryption' part of Xskin?
Congrats also, Bert. It's nice to see DarbOrb doing some positive changes in the area of Skins.

Does that mean once we upgrade to v7 we can remove the mail, iconic themes etc?Originally posted by bert
Since the X SKINS will now be cPanel's default skins, they will be updated as new features are released, they will be updated in the same way and as often as the old default/iconic were.
There will be no encryption either. cPanel owns the skins now and they will distribute the source code just like they did with the older default skins.

Not yet. Kind of hard because of its layout (graphics), but it will be supporting branding within the next month.does X themes support BRANDING ?
Supported just like it was supported with the default theme.And what about LANGUAGES ?
Fully supported.And hey... the new FEATURE MANAGER ?
I personally removed the credit. cPanel PURCHASED all the rights and loyalties to the X SKINS from ProNIC Solutions, therefore I no longer play a role.Even with CPanel owning the skins people can still remove your credits so how is this stopping this?
I don't understand what you mean by this. The theme/skin is identical, the only difference is that it now has the cPanel logo in the header and it has language compatibility.The theme file has been completely changed with a bunch of different commands instead of as to what was in the old version how come? I liked XSkins like they was before, secondly I got an icon missing and shell is enabled and no features are turned off and I can't seem to fnid out which it is and why. WHy is this?
The X SKINS website design is not available for sale. It will more than likely be used by cPanel as a replacement to their existing website.Third, what you plan to do with the XSKin website design as I would love to purchase this from you if Cpanel doesn'tp lan to take it and change it to there site which would be a wise idea.
No change of heart goodmove. Business is just that, business. I was very pleased with the agreement that was made with cPanel and therefore I decided to go through that route as opposed to sell the skins to individual users one by one.Bert, what was your reason (or reasons) for your sudden change of heart when you obviously had some solid plans about the future direction of Xskins?
For obvious reasons, I will not disclose any details concerning the cPanel/ProNIC Solutions agreement.Another question that comes to my mind is: As part of the agreement, are you now not allowed to produce free or commercial Cpanel skins that might compete with the Xskin?
Not really, you might think I am a jack ass, but I am not. Even though I am not pleased about our previous thread exchanges and still don't understand the reasons that were behind your insistence with the X SKINS/icons topic, I don't have anything against you at all.Side note: Given the run-ins you and I have had in a couple of other threads recently, I realise that you may ignore me completely (or give me the elbow or say "that's none of your f***ing business", etc.) and I will understand that...
