badbloyblue, the zip file you download has two files in it. They are Sirus.wba and Sirus_wall.jpg. The wall is not inside the skin folder itself.

Shelbygt, the icons in the XP animations were only made at that size, so they can't really be scaled up for icons unless they are redrawn.

Really liking the skin. The only 'issue' I can find with it would be that there is no difference in the maximize/restore glyph when the windows are maximized. Personal preference I guess...

dilmonen, there are different glyphs for the max/restore buttons on perpixel frames. You must be running the skin in non-perpixel mode.

This is really an awesome skin and I love it.

I have a small problem though. When I try to change the font-size, or just about anything in Skinstudio and then saving it as another Substyle, the cool animation on the UserPane disapears. It stops working. What can I do about it and why is it?

Very thankful for your help.

Great skin, Mike! You've done amazing skins over the years, but this one is especially terrific!

Hmmm... I'll have to double check that. I know I didn't turn off any graphical features voluntarily... Wonder if it's a driver issue.

Thanks for the quick reply.

As an extremely harsh critic whom never sugar coats comments, I can only say that this is beautiful work.

Since I got this skin I've switched a few times to some others, GT3, Omega and they are awesome but in a matter of hours I was back to Sirus. When I saw what Fairyy did with it I started to have fits and speaking in tongues! Will I ever go back? Can I ever use another skin? We need to have a Sirus intervention team for people who can't stop using this skin!

The old version is still up on the site. The file is named Sirus12202007.zip and it is identical in size to the one I downloaded on January first.

It may be taking time to propogate to all the servers. The new file is called Sirus_01022008.zip.

The file should be updated now. You should click on the Settings link at the top right of the page, and then click on the Registrations tab. Or, you can go to www.stardock.com/support and request your registrations/serial numbers by email.

mike,

i have downloaded several times, and i keep getting a ".efw" file instead of ".wba" so I am unable to do anything with it., . .

somebody please help!!

is the problem on your end or mine?

I tried downloading from the email rather than safari (for windows), and i get the same thing.

TLK1969, you should be getting a .zip file. Did you try one of the two options above? I know clicking the original link won't work anymore, since the file name has changed.

yeah,

i have a support ticket open with stardock. . it is downloading as a "UmxattachmentFile" so it must be a problem there. .

I hope. but, thanks mike!


*****I figured it out: my recently tightened security (CA assoc. Anti-virus/spyware/etc) was somehow converting select zip files to the mysterious .efw file. . . Anyway that's what it was!!

Now I can say that this is a BLOODY FANTASTIC SKIN!! I really dig the start menu animation, too.

NICE work!!

I was unsure about the .efw extension myself, but after a google search, I came at the same result as yourself. Can't see how renaming your files without telling you could help, but it's great you were able to get it working! (I am going to close your ticket)

On another note, I too really love this skin. Definitely one of my favorites!
Great work, Mike!
