Hello @all!

First of all sorry for my inactivity in the last year - a lot of - private - things happend in 2020.

I absolutely had no time for Glasklart and I think I can not find the time for it in the future. On top of that I don't have an iOS-device anymore, so I cannot compile any further releases of Glasklart.

I also have decided to cancel my domain 'dreamnet.at' and the server I rented. This means that the subdomains 'glasklarthd.dreamnet.at', 'getart.dreamnet.at', 'repo.dreamnet.at' and 'preview.dreamnet,.at' will be shut down no later than 31.12.2021.

I am absolutely sorry for this, but hey - life is changing and we all have to move on.

I want to say THANK YOU ! to everyone who has contributed icons over the last !!! 8 !!! years, quite special to @maxrudberg (who is the original creator of Glasklart), @jfelchner (who has the idea for this GitHub-Page) and to @2Qt2beStr8 (for helping me out in the last years). YOU ARE GREAT ! ...and this doesn't mean, Glasklart has to die - maybe someone other takes care of it.

Again - thank's to all! I'm sure we'll meet again!

@dreamnet you rocked this thing far longer than I thought you would (and I think longer than me!) You deserve all the credit for keeping this thing alive the last (7!?!?) years. When you first requested to help I had no idea you were going to be the one leading this thing for so long. You definitely proved yourself and I don't regret handing things over to you.

I haven't had a jailbroken iPhone for a long time and it really sucks that having a jailbroken phone now means that you're more susceptible to major security issues making it much less desirable.

I miss the days of being able to install tweaks to make the iPhone experience better. Hopefully Apple will be required by the US Government to allow 3rd party app stores and to be able to install whatever software on your device that you want.

@dreamnet one suggestion would be to attach a Github "FUNDING" file to this repo. If there are people who still find Glasklart useful, they can setup monthly donations to you to keep the servers running. I would hate to have people lose access to some of those great resources.

Again, thanks to everyone who made Glasklart a success. It was one of the first themes ever made and I would argue, the best. Hopefully we can keep this thing going or revive it if Apple allows it in the future.

VIVA LA GLASKLART!
