    Question is, what does pro give you that you need...ehm, nothing?
    The free one works just fine.

    So nothing important...

    And I don't see anything with a free offer on the site.
    Only a 50% off offer for HP users...

    There is a CONTEST for one of five free licenses and the 50% off is for ANYONE who clicks the link on the MyHPMini.com site, not just HP users.

    Ah, OK.

    Contest for 5 licenses? Then that's not really worth it, is it?...

    Full list of pro features. You can actually try out Pro free for 30 days by clicking on the battery bar icon in your taskbar.

    That's a good point. I have a placeholder on the wiki for themes, but I haven't gotten around to putting them up. I'll put that on my to-do list.

    You can always activate the free Pro trial period and then previous the themes by going to Preferences, Display, and changing the selected theme.

    I've just logged into the forum to post this offer (just turned on my laptop and found out about it), but you've beaten me to it. :smile:

    I'd welcome a separate post from someone who's not the author.

    I went in and dropped a dollar; I could easily find worse things to spend a dollar on.

    NiteShdw.....It is against the forum rules to link to your website in a post. It is allowed in the signature area only.

    I just checked all my posts, the only link I posted was to another website, not mine. The link to my site is only in my signature.
