You bring up good points with having help screens updated to reflect the themes, agreed that would be a great feature to include in a skin but the price would most likely go up.
That doesn't really bother me; I've always felt I get what I pay for. Here in the US I can get a fast food hamburger, fries and a cola for between usd $4.00 and usd $5.00. But I tend to eat at
Burger Boss andspend about twice that, because I like it better. They're always busy, so I must not be the only one who feels that way.
If it's an issue charge for ue of the site-helper, or at least give me permission to use your images and build my own. I may or may not do the latter, but it should be available to me. Martynas (smtalk) has already published in these forums permission to use his images to build a site-helper.
But I don't think it's an issue because I think more people will buy if the site-helper is available.
Anyhow, I just think things should be more simple. A good example of that us using ModulesGarden integration with WHMCS, I would much rather have a slick and powerful WHMCS theme and allow my customers to manage their Hosting acount from the same interface as the Billing and Support! And most customers want that anyways, leave the CP available to the power users, they dont really care about the look of DA anyways.
I agree with you on that, and as part of my rebranding I'm going to use theModules Garden module.
But people need and want choice (though you need to be careful how you offer it, too many choices can be confusing) and what works for one user may not work for another. for example the DirectAdmin
power_user skin may be best for users on slow connections.
We should put more effort into integrating Control Panels with our Billing systems.
Yes, but we also need to consider our resllers; we still need to put some thought into skins, because our resellers won't be using our WHMCS integration and may want some easy skin choices for themselves and their users.
