>> I agree with Otto, asking the user to rate the theme may not always
>> result positively, it might backfire as well, so it's a choice really.
>> And yes it should have a reason to appear out of nowhere. For example
>> i set mine to trigger ONCE after 4 HOURS upon installation, also it
>> can be completely disabled without ever seeing it from minute 1. The
>> reason for this is
>>  a.) There is no point in reminding the user with a permanent link,
>> or asking for a second time. Some people are just not like that, or
>> dont care.
>> b.) It doesnt make sense to ask the user instantly upon theme
>> activation, since at that point the user have no idea at all. That's
>> what i set it after 4 hours.
>>
>> So like i said, instead of a "unobtrusive permanent text link" in my
