Lovely . . .I will probably get this. Although I think the text on the furtuneball is hard to read in the screenshots.

Ya know . . something like this would be great for WC subscribers.

RightClick is badly usable with fortune windowblinds skin, because you can't see anything...

Sweet! Looks very nice.


Allthough, I thought from the title this article would give hints on the Vista goodies.

sorry . . . might just be me but I can't figure out how to change the size of the 8ball

@ Citizen Darken.. with some color combinations its almost impossible to match all menu colors, a sacrifice has to me made in one area or another. Im sure that lil problem will be remedied in newer versions of WB,. Hopefully by vista format!

@ Citizen vStyler: Thanx for the reply.

Any chance for a skinned box (tool windows) in Photoshop? And, standard icons?

Thanx in advance, nice theme.

Took me a little bit to figure out the ball resize as well. Hold the shift key and left click on the ball.

Love this theme! Great job as always..

Standard toolbar icons? Does it at least have custom animations? Looks disappointing. I think I'll pass on this one.

Very nice suite. It's just a shame that it's almost spoilt by the pointless gadgets.
8-ball? Mmm... something I can't live without on a day to day basis....
Weather? Yes the weather is a little chilly in Livonia today... it's just a shame I'm 1000's of miles away.
US only weather? Come on... at least advertise that fact and offer something different for the rest of the world... a calendar or something.

Great skin but the weather gadget is not worth it. It just shows a forcast not current stats.
The temp is just an average of the day. The graphic shows what it may do that day.

bitch, bitch, bitch!  and i thought i was a negative person. it seems some folks can only find negative things in life. i bought the suite and the ONLY thing that interest me is the blind. that in itself is worth the cost! and there's a great IP package as a bonus! the 8-ball widget is pretty cool. granted it isn't something you can't live without but it is fun to mess around with on occasion. maybe the weather widget is for US only, maybe it isn't. i'm not going to check. i'm not using it and have no interest. if you don't like what is available, don't buy it. there's no need to trash somebody's work.

No one is trashing work. Folks are providing feedback. Big difference.

Once you pay for a product, I think you have the right.

Great logic.. not.
It is not advertised that the weather gadget is US only. So unless it's not and I'm missing something, the gadget is broken and needs fixing.
The blind, icons, boot skin etc are great but that wasn't all I paid for. I paid for the whole package. I knew about the 8 ball beforehand, so even though I might moan about it's addition, I can't complain too much. But I can complain about a non functioning weather gadget.

Thanks Guys

I bought all the available blind/suite/IconPackager/... on Stardock and since the first day where they are on sale. Then, I take the right to give my opinion. Problem of money? No problem, I'm ready to pay more!!!

No bitch, trash work or negative person --> Only feedbacks!!

Also, this suite is nice and amazing. Good job for all works on this nice suite!

The weather gadget is NOT for the United States only, to my knowledge. Just enter in the location code as seen on weather.com in your address bar. For example, my city (Calgary, Canada) has the country code of CAXX0054, as retrieved from: http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/local/CAXX0054

Make sense?

Typical weather gadgets *that are free* pull from weather.com.  However, they do not allow for commercial use, which is why the weather gadget that is in Fortune does not.  It actually parses data from the US government weather info site, which is why it only works in the US. 

The Fortune suite is really inspired by the Fortune Ball, which sells as a gadget on desktopgadgets.com (as a standard 8-ball) for almost $5.00 on its own.  So, for $4.00 more, there is an added weather gadget, a skin, wallpaper, logon, bootskin, and set of 256x256 icons. 

This is a different kind of suite than the others, and not all suites will have the same components and features.

We hope to provide a weather gadget for non-us people as possibly a "free" gadget (to get around the use restrictions).
