New Master Skin: Sirus by MikeB314

Pretty shiny green

Wednesday, January 2, 2008 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News

Originally released the Friday before Christmas, I wanted to take a moment to highlight Sirus, the latest Master Skin effort by skinning legend, MikeB314.

Sirus is one of the few skins released to date to truly take advantage of WindowBlinds 6 and its new features.  Sirus comes complete with an animated start menu and start button, per-pixel windows/taskbar/start menu, blur effects and Vista glass toolbars.  And today Mike updated the skin to include a Windows Vista sidebar skin.  If you're a Windows Vista user, this is a great skin to pick up for your collection.

Sirus is a great, top-quality skin, exactly the kind of work you'd expect from someone like MikeB.

I dl this twice and there's no sidebar skin. I thought is just wasn't being installed but it's not in the Sirus wb folder. So is it just me?

Boo Patriots!!

I thought him everything he knows, but no need to believe me on this.   

As soon as Paypal update my Credit Card, I'll be back in the game.
I need OD to start doing my thing. Gotta start doing my thing again.

Hope he brings them out very often

Indeed, a top notch classy skin!!! I'm using it now, and I really love it. The wall is first rate too. If I can come up with a skin HALF as good as this I'll be a happy man. Thanks Mike.

Another Awesome Skin from one of the best. Thank you as always.


One problem though, you have updated it with the Sidebar now. I deleted the Sirus, had Stardock send me an update to all my downloads...re-downloaded Sirus...No Sidebar within.


All I get is the Convex, Diamond, and Quest. I tried with "Use skin defined" to no avail.

Am I missing something?

In skin options in Windowblinds click on rebuild list,this may help.

Thanks for the kinds words, everybody.

Kperry, the sidebar's appearance may depend on whether you have your sidebar set to Always on Top or not. It is not "always on top" in the screenshot.
