December Desktop New Thread

no need to start a new december desktop thread.

But I am intrested in what programs you are using to emulate a mac so well.

Although it is a disgrace to mac users.

Its a combination of wincustomize bootskin(which isnt shown, but emulates the Mac OS X boot screen)
then, the windows log-in screen is also changed to emulate the Mac OS X log-on (I forget the program name right off, but it is accurate)
then...I used object dock for the menu at the bottom (I made the gaming icons with photoshop by combining some of the icons available at the Icon X download site. Hope those icon developers don't get pissed, but I needed icons to match the theme...I will upload them as soon as I finish more to complete a package.)
then, object bar for the OS X menu at the top which changes for whatever program I am using. (This is consitant with the Mac OS X)
then, window blinds for the skinning of the windows GUI
and finally skinned winamp and other third party proggies with the applicable OS X skins where available.

I was dissapointed that Music Match doesn't have an OS X skin, but finding one for DFX was certainly a plus.

I was lucky that one of my friends owns a an I-Mac with OS X, so I was able to get alot of ideas from that.

O yeah...I've only been doing this for a week, but am learning pretty fast. Most of this is cut and dry.

And finally, I don't mean to blasphemize or discrace Mac users, in fact this theme was meant to compliment the Mac OS X users. I love the look and feel of Mac.

I would just get a mac. Pretty cheap to get a old Imac these days capable of running OS X

But good job. Looks great.

Have fun with it!

But then what would be the point of having all these great programs from Stardock if I can't play around with them?

BTW: This isn't the only theme I have or use Kona. It's just an example of the power of Stardock apps.

Happy holidays dude!

Thanks.

This would be more appropriate in the 'original' desktop thread, rather than create a new one....out of consideration for those on dialup...
