It probably should, yes. However, there are more important things to do to TC, and I have no motivation to work on TC to any great extent, since people are generally stingy (as denoted by the lack of donations... well under 1% of users) and tend to be generally ungrateful. Sure, lots of people thank me, but it's the people who throw insults around without explaining them that stick in my mind and really hurt (see another thread in this forum). Oh, well. Maybe in a few weeks

Yeah..more folks should donate (I did).
it's only $5 or $10 (I forget) for crying out loud.

If you like the program do with out beer or some burgers for a week...

Dude, you gotta change your attitude. Don't disregard the people that are appreciative and thank you unless they pay up, while sustaining lasting wounds from the quick words of idiots. Even beyond this board and beyond your program's development, the negative should not be dwelt on in life while the positive is overlooked.

You are a good programmer and have written a useful utility for many people that didn't even know you wanted money.... I certainly didn't. And I use WAY too many programs marked 'freeware' to spontaneously donate money to all of them. It's hard enough getting people to pay for shareware that DEMANDS money isn't it? Keep up the good work and don't hold any grudges!

Code:
cp Extras.rsrc /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/HIToolbox.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

Well, that's probably true, but then ThemeChanger isn't the only thing in my life at the moment.

I don't.

Of course, but then again we should all be better people and then there would be no pain and suffering in this world, but that's never gonna happen, is it?

Well, I don't like forcing people to pay that much, especially for things like TC which was originally just a quick hack.

Keep up the good work and don't hold any grudges!

Sorry, I think you're misunderstanding the reasons: I don't have much time, I have various other projects, I have school, etc etc -- and it doesn't help when people moan, and I guess I had a particularly bad day when I posted that. Thanks for the kind words, though.

Like others have said. I'm sorry I did not know ThemeChanger was donation-ware. I just switched from Duality (since it wasn't functioning properly). We do appreciate your efforts.
