HOW TO PURCHASE A LICENSE:
Until I get a website with a paypal button integrated, please click the DONATE button. I am asking $10 for the plugin which I think is a very fair and affortable price. The license is locked to a single machine, so please include your Centrafuse's Hardware ID along with your payment. You can find this ID in the settings of the plugin. You will have a 30-day evaluation period with the plugin. Afterwards, a valid license file will be required. Once payment is received, I will email you a license file and instructions.

I've included a few skin packs already to show you what's possible. I'm looking towards the community to add more skins for the programs that they use most. A single skin pack can support multiple CF skins and languages. If anyone would like for me to include other languages or skins with these packs below, please send them to me and I will include them
