Oh goddamn it, "Free" eh, oh well, I will go back to browsing the other stuff so I will just close...this..popup...where is the close button!? All the preview boxes have the little X, why not this?
Yea, clicking outside the box also works but the suspicious part of me (triggered mainly by the original bait and switch of "Free stuff") wonders why they don't include the x on that popup screen
Interesting, I find it hard to believe that they updated their UI inside of 2 hours in response to a random comment on HN but I can guarantee that that was not there when I made my original post.
This was intended for people who already had an account and the title of this submission doesn't reflect that. I believe that makes the process of asking for a login even more acceptable.
Text from the email they sent out today:
Free Goods, exclusive for our early-access members.
Creative Market is coming soon! Until then, here's a collection of great content we're offering free for a limited time, as a special thank you for your early support.
Worth noting though is that there is a link to this page on their home page, implying that this isn't supposed to be restricted to those with an account. (I guess just visiting their page is considered supporting them?)
no, after the release of twitter bootstrap the possibility of making different design elements on the internet has ended. we need no more other pixels ever.
I can't find a license for this free content anywhere? There is some stuff about the service itself in the Terms of Use Agreement:
"Creative Market Service. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are hereby granted a non-exclusive, limited, non-transferable, freely revocable license to use the Service for your personal, noncommercial use only and as permitted by the features of the Service."
It is unclear if this pertains to the service itself, or to the content I download. Perhaps it is more clear in normal cases when you pay for the content?
Some of them have a license file or some info about the licence in an included readme. The others are not safe to be used in commercial products, imo. Adding reachable license info (like other sites selling themes and graphic elements usually do) is essential for this kind of services.
I've not gone through every one that's up but I've downloaded the ones I'm interested in and they fall under two categories. License file/Link to license file saying fine for personal & commercial, or no license file. No license file makes things somewhat more complicated.
Just as a note to the creators of the service (and it is gorgeous and thank you very much for the extra resources! Bookmarked and I shall return), it might be a pain but you should specify that each pack contains an actual factual copy of the license file. Web links come and go, but the .txt remains strong.
I'm never that enthusiastic about these kinds of ui element designs. Maybe it works in flash but the user experience when translated to html/css/js is really hard to get right. Just look how much effort bootstrap is taking.

I am not impresssed.
[EDIT] Saw the other post about how this was sent as part of an email to existing users which rather makes this entire thread a bit harsh.

Neither GIMP, Paint.NET nor Irfanview can open the files properly. :(
