Great idea!

SitePro Central Color Sheme Chooser

[Jay.M]

Thanks for the addition! Added.

I changed the url to reflect the original designer and pointed to it rather than the affiliate site you posted.

When possible the creators or developers will be linked.

I think allowing anyone you don't know to remotely take over your computer is the most unsecured / stupid / & irresponsible thing you can do. This allows them to retrieve everything from your hard drive, including but not limited to: Credit card #'s / Bank Info / Personal Identity info. / Browser catch passwords & usernames / Keystroke monitoring / Web cam access / & Much Much MORE!

In a nutshell, its opening yourself up to be robbed blind.

Just say NO!

My favorite graphic resource is stock exchange, after that i go to deviant art.

[seo-neon]

hmm, resources resources resouces... How about the envato network? NetTuts, PSDTuts, VectorTuts, and more...
Hongkiat.com and SmashingMagazine.com is also a very nice site to grab some resources.
