Quote - "now I have to re-buy SkinVue."

That's not true, according to Dave, creator of SkinVue. We exchanged a few posts in a thread in C3D, in the Store Talk forum, because I was under the same impression as you but he told me that the update to SkinVue7 is not necessary. I mean, SkinVue7 has some nice new features but SkinVue6 still runs in Vue7, it's just necessary to run a fix. I didn't try it yet.
