Zipping Skins on Mac Not Working When Changing Filename.

I noticed that on my Mac when I zip files they and change the extension via Get Info Silverjuke cannot read the skin file. It works fine on my PC running windows tho.

Okay, so I just got to my PC and it's not working here either. I take a skin .sjs change it to .zip... Unzip it... then invert the background image because I am going for a darker look... then I zip it again using winxp's send to compressed file.. then rename the file to .sjs. And Silverjuke doesn't add the skin.. what am i doing wrong?

7-Zip works out of the box and is free (open source):

As far as I know any zip should work, only not all compression algorithms are probably supported.

Most utils use 'deflate' as default compression, with fallback to 'store' (no compression) if deflating does not gain anything. I suspect the compressors that do not work use other algorithms in their default settings. Throttling back their effort (probably a setting called somewhat like 'faster but less compact') should let them create skin-zips compatible with Silverjuke.
