Hi is there any chance for "sirus" maxthon skin?
btw love ur wb skin "sirus"

Hi Mike, I made a couple comments awhile back about some glitches in two of your older skins, and as it turns out, I was able to figure out how to fix them myself. There's nothing like necessity for the mother of invention! One of the reasons I am paying such close attention to the older skins is that the new per-pixel skins conflict with my Dragon Naturally Speaking Toolbar. But there are two per-pixel skins that I just cannot live without, and I was hoping you still have the older versions for Ares and StealthOS. If you still have copies of these skins in the non-per-pixel form, could you please email them to me or direct me to someplace I can download them? Any help will be most gratefully appreciated! Thanks! LuDean AKA gardenerstouch

hi Mike, love your latest update on your stealth skin I especially like the new start button. But I am really missing the compact start menu, so I wondered if you would consider amalgamating the old and the new skin with the new features and a compact start menu with the new start button I'm sure I'm not the only one. I use the skin a lot it is just so good thank you. Keep on skinning

Great to receive a comment from you!!! Thanks! :)

Hey Mike... Love your Sirus skin... but I wanted to show you something you might consider in the future or possibly you could release this remake of sirus for yourself. I don't want to take away from the effort you put into this awesome skin. http://i26.tinypic.com/k4b7sn.jpg Still working on a color scheme for the buttons and mouseovers but it appeals to me and maybe others. Just thoughts. Thanks again.
Apr 7, 2008 4:38 AM
Sirus! I love this design! Any chance of you adding alternate color schemes? I am especially hoping for a blood red version similar to the red found in your Apollo skin. PLEAAAASE. :-)
Apr 1, 2008 6:41 PM
Hi, Mike! I greatly admire your creative talent, and I'm excited about the updates you're doing of your great designs! :D
Mar 24, 2008 5:19 AM
Oh! Forgot to heap some praise for your great work. I just counted, and I discovered that I have eight of your skins installed in WB6. Found another of your skins that I hope you will tweak for WB6... TanGreen. I love it, but the horizontal scroll bars do not display properly. When scrolled, the bar fragments, and the track it runs in mostly displays black.
Mar 22, 2008 4:43 PM
Hi Mike. I love your desktopx and windowsblind and pretty much everything you did. I used like 30 diff DesktopX and windowblinds layouts and yours was still #1.. but I have a small issue. When I open IE the bottom and top desktop boxes always stay on top.. is there a way I can open IE so it can extend to full screen..? It's like that with every program I run. They all run to fit in the box. Please reply to me. Thank you. here is my email if this will be easier. mkornyukhin@gmail.com

Just found your Beacon skin. Clean, elegant, and the purple skin I have been hunting for for months to go with the pile of purple wallpapers I been collecting. Regretably, there are some glitches when running the skin in WB6... the Start menu "All programs" menu is borked. See the image link: http://pic19.picturetrail.com/VOL1103/4704943/9806958/309723984.jpg All the other menus work correctly. I have the fonts set to 20% oversize, in case that makes any difference. I am running Win XP. Also, the skin ignores the check box that says to ignore sounds included with the skin. By the way, I really do like the sounds. I extracted them and am going to try putting them in Sound packager schemes for use on my own computer. If you plan to update the skin, the only thing I suggest you change is the scroll bars, which look more like windows classic.

Greeting Mike you are one of my favourites and your job is superb I wanted to thank you, and I hope that you are going to make a vista updating for the masterpiece Multipass...;)
Mar 13, 2008 7:59 PM

Jan 11, 2008 1:51 PM
Hey Mike. Liked your Sirus theme so well I made an Xion skin to go with it. If you would like to check it out e-mail me at ssymmonds@gmail.com. Thanks
Jan 6, 2008 9:20 PM
Hi Mike - like everyone else, I love your "Sirus" WB, etc. If you get a chance, I'd appreciate you taking a look at a recent submission of mine called "Sirus BoXXi" and let me know what you think. Thank you!

For some reason I can't comment on the Sirus skin, so I'll do so here.

Bought it, long story short, I love it. I think it's truly great. I have one complaint though. There's a problem that happened A LOT today (when I bought it) and it's annoying.

Randomly when I'm surfing the net, Vista will say Explorer has failed and needs to restart (not the internet for some reason), and this is the result each time.

Aug 7, 2007 12:13 PM
Hello Mike,
Gremeleon (get it? Gremlin; chameleon). Firstly kudos for your excellent work. I sent you a comment about the fantastic Aura skin and I see the Screen shot is now gone. I have upgraded to WB6 and lost my ALLTIME favourite skin....Aura. It still has the best window borders and transparency like none. I search everyday for something similar...but it ain't there. PLEASE can I have this one. I want to begin this skinning thing myself but I got a long way to go. Gonna try soon!!!
Jul 29, 2007 2:17 AM
I along with darrnld have been trying to get to skinplant.com and it is not working, and I have been searching for the wallpaper for your WB "Ares" and can't find it. can you send me a email at devinski100@yahoo.com
Jul 13, 2007 12:06 AM

Mar 22, 2007 5:19 AM
Hello Mike,

I've been aimlessly searching for the wallpaper for your Tronnix WB, I used to visit SkinPlant quite often and have noticed that the site is in-accessable. I'd sure like that wallpaper, email me at dl.draney@gmail.com if you can provide me a link. Excellent work you do by the way, from one artist to another I'm envious. Thanks.
Mar 12, 2007 4:52 AM
sorry for the double post... email me at stack.michael@gmail.com if that works for you, thanks!
Mar 12, 2007 4:01 AM
Hey Mike... I'm new to this whole skins thing... I downloaded and have your Multipass_Carbon set right now... it's amazing but when I run AIM 6.0 the txt box is grey (among other things, such as the google search window) is there any way that I can change this setting? Thanks a lot!

Wanted this in a PM - but here it goes.....

If we purchase Optix - how much of that $$$ do you see
Feb 26, 2007 5:59 AM
When the "Arrow" skin is loaded, no wallpaper appears.
Could you provide a link to the wallpaper which is displayed and noted in the "Arrow" skin ?

..... Thanks for a great skin.
Feb 7, 2007 4:03 AM
WHat is the icon pack you use with the Cyclops theme?
Jan 5, 2007 2:17 PM
Mike I just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of your wb work, everyone of them is awesome - you're definitely one of the best wb skin authors around!!!
Dec 16, 2005 7:10 PM
Your Arrow skin for WB is awesome, BUT - consider of improving it by makine Start menu more Vista 5259-like (transparent as well, standby and power off buttons, user icon top-right and comming out of frame)

People will aprecciate that!

Greetings.

Hi Mike, 2 Weeks ago, I download 'Airlock', Was using it fine, really like the 'button's at the bottom. But...something changed? I am using Windows Vista, Home Premium, and an using Windows 'Blind' lastes download. My problem is switching between your 2 versions, when I want to use the button at the bottom to the screen,no button are now visible?
