Small update to the SWDeluxe skin suite

I did a small update to SWDeluxe:

QVGA (nonVGA):

- added Signal Strength Pressed, Signal Connected Normal and Signal Connected Pressed
images for the Phone Edition version of Wisbar Advance 2

Apparently this is a small icon that changes the signal strength button when you are on the phone. In accordance with the general look of the skin the signal strength button background will turn green when you have an ongoing call.

So, if you have a QVGA phone edition device - get the update. Otherwise everything else is the same.

If you bought the suite from handango you can re-download it from there, if you bought it from my site you already know where to get the update :).

If you bought the suite from Handango you can go there and re-download it. If you bought it from my site you'll get an email with details on how to access the files.




Paypal - again

Due to popular demand I'm re-opening the paypal store (apparently Handango isn't very popular among many of you). There is a change this time though:
We aren't sending out files by email anymore, instead we'll send you details on how to access the suites you buy once we verified the payment. This way you can access the suites whenever you want (and download updates).

For people who already bought suites from my site we'll be sending out details on accessing the files.

Whenever I update a skin suite I'll be announcing it here at my blog and also at the Brighthand and PocketPCThoughts discussion groups.

You can always find details on exclusive skin suites here:

I want to give a huge thank you to my wife who spent countless hours updating the database for the new download system. I couldn't have done it without her.

I also want to give a big thank you to Amit from SBSH (of PocketBreeze, ContactBreeze, PocketWeather and many other titles) for helping me with the hosting of the suites and building the database. :)
