I will say that one of my hopes in developing the battery skin collection was to encourage the purchase of one of his skinning applications, though. |

I agree. I like to show my appreciation for useful software. I am a faithful user of NVBackup and although I offered to make a donation for that app, Alex was unwilling to take it (he suggested I make a donation to a charity of his choice instead). MyKbd is such a great app, that buying it was practically a no brainer. When I can encourage good developers by supporting them monetarily, I try to - not that I'm made of money (although my son doesn't seem to believe that one).  |

I only saw payware. But then again. I didn't look very far being busy with my LD. I did now but I am not able to find any freeware at his website

A lot of it is here in the freeware section. He also uses sourceforge. Google the app you are looking for. I got these very quickly: NVBackup 1.18 (not most recent) Fixboot Plucker
Try this google search

| Regarding my hope that my battery skin collection might promote mySkin/myKbd use: Quote: | Originally Posted by cyberdude Really?

I elected not to do that, but instead to release the skins.
I did start making battery skins in the first place to please myself and to learn more about Palm graphics.

| Alex tends to take a different approach to Trialware than a lot of developers: whereas most make the app expire after a set amount of time, Alex just disables a few features. With FontSmoother, font smoothing still works in Bible apps, for example, just not system-wide. With MySkin/Kbd, the skin editing and keyboard input features become disabled, but macros, etc. still work. Alex is an amazing person and software developer. I wish more people had his morals.
