viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6752The adbanners, donations and the publicity nowadays offer from minimal to nothing.
All these years the Dev earned from donations 20$ for a year and we need more than that for each month for the servers and the various services! With the adblockers the banners are hidded and for a proper publicity you have to give a lot of money.
Don't forget that XWidget comes from a single person and not from a developers team as usual.
Purchasing the pro version will you have access to ALL the gallery, the XDesigner and the future updates and features.
So you not pay for a single widget as you said...
Now about the price sorry but 5 dollars is a ridiculous price for a pc program with personal designing capabilities. There are Android launchers that cost more than that! Com'on..
The pro version was the only way to keep XWidget alive. And I don't think that the users want a dead project without new versions, bug fixing and no more new widgets.. Or not
