If Silentone wants a donation its up to the consumer to decide to ask for the theme or not.
If SRL does not ask for donations that is his buisness.
It takes time to create these themes and even if its a hobby and they want a few bucks for their time it is still up to the consumer to decide.
I hope that all the questioning by some members does not create a situation where SRL or Silentone stop posting here. The amount of work these guys have done for free is huge. If the consumer does not want to pay there is a boatload of free themes out there by both guys and others. However if the consumer wants a theme that is just for their needs it may cost $5, but the quality of work is well worth it from both these gentlemen. Thanks to you both for your themes and keep up the good work.

coach I can't agree with you more!! sil and slr have both been a valuable asset to this forum! A donation is strictly that a donation!! Some people will contribute others will not. I find nothing wrong with requesting a donation especially to offset time and development spent on projects! both sil and slr have have contributed a GREAT deal here both in the way of information and themes/wallpaper for all devices. I too was concerned that calling a person out in a public forum would cause grief and aggravation and that person would not return (hell I wouldn't blame that person if they didn't return, who needs that crap). It takes a bigger person to rise above that and continue posting for the benefit of the rest of us (ala Jeremy Bentham, greatest good for the greatest number, lol) . I have not heard people complain about members websites asking for donations (and there are certainly more than 1). I don't think I would have pursued the theme building or graphical interest if is wasn't for the the contributions and examples of some members and their willingness to answer questions on development issues that I have had!! GREAT response here coach. Sil and slr keep up the GREAT work and information - you guys ARE appreciated!!!
