    Thanks for this awesome plugin and for continuing to maintain it!

    I use the ‘blue’ theme (included WP color theme) and this is how it looks.

    The bullet points for the list are not default and look bad since other WordPress menus do not have them. Also you change the color of the ‘Contribute’ Link and bullet. I would advice you not to try to change the colors, because as you see for my color theme it looks actually muted, the opposite as what you want. You should probably get rid of the bullets and just use bold for the contribute link.

    No big deal but still you might want to change that.

    I think it looks OK,

    I will change back the contribute colors on a future release. Nobody contributes anyway. After 20,000 downloads it made about $100, and there hasn’t been a contribution in quite a white, since.

    Thanks for changing the menu. I am just a bit sensitive to such things. But I am certainly not alone with that. Now its “boring” as you say, but in a good way. Its perfectly integrates with WP´ other menus now and not looks like from another planet with this in my opinion ugly red bullet …

    As for the contribution, yeah I know the deal, its really not much you get here. And then they demand perfect support and cant even be bothered to take 30 seconds to read some basics. I have a Plugin here with 176939 DLs and +30000 users here. But you sound a unhappy about it, yet you say “Don’t send money to me”, “only of you are rich / have a rich boss” or something ;).

    I not donated to you because I think I am a person who gives to the WP community as well instead of just take, but maybe thats a bad excuse. So I am going to donate 15$ right now. Ended up to be 10$ because you only offer this 3 stop options there. Not a btn where one can manually enter a amount. I will keep your Coinbase link in mind and use it when I finally get into Bitcoins some day.

    Anyway, just so you know this was not a “complaint” its was a suggestion because I think there are others you may judge your plug-in as more professional just by the look of the menu and you may get more clicks on that ‘contribute’ link if its actually not looking muted. But please do not change the change-log for me now ;). I really wanted to help you (and others not be forced to look at ugly UI)

    You should roll out a pro version. I will probably do it with my plugin. I actually already have a beta ready. Problem is it cripples the current plugins functionality and they will hate me and give me 1 star ratings if I do it. From lots of “users” perspectives you just have to work for free here and are evil if you want to feed yourself. I am thinking of giving people 100% discount codes if they are old users so they will not be pissed. Ahh sorry I better stop ranting now …
