You are not actually trying OSX by doing that BTW. You'll have a bad experience.

theres also TigerMilk 3.51, sorry can't find a link but if you google it, you should find it. IMO, TigerMilk 3.51 makes more of a "Mac-ish" feeling than the others.

Here is it

http://tigermilk.eb.com.hk/

The guy who made this shell pack includes the followings:

KoL Tiger VS 2.0 (not the latest 2.1) dunno got KoL's permission or not.

SnowE 2 icons

WinRoll

iColorFolder

Y'z Shadow

Y'z Dock

iEx

3r-1c

iShut

Flyakite Bootscreen (oso dunno got permission or not)

Mac OS X logon (looks like Steve Grenier's version)

According to his site, there is no more revision after 3.51.

Okk I am using FlyaKite and its good enough.

But what I was looking for was a complete Mac emulation.

Is there some transformation pack that can replace the start menu as well and make the task bar Mac like and not simply add a theme and change some icons?

Here's the best pack yet, it requieres WindowBlinds, IconPackager and other things, and it justs replaces the cursor, theme, icons, the software is a free trial but you can always buy the software. If I where you, stick with Flyakite, it's the best one yet. If you're really serious for Mac emulation go to a site that's dedicated to it, www.osx-e.com.

Enjoy

dont use this one http://lamorine.free.fr/WinOSX/website/

it leaves icons in the control pannel after installing, it also changes the control pannel title to "Panneau de configuration" i know its only small things

but i wish these transformation packs would uninstall properly. my boot screen didnt change back after uninstalling the flyakite pack.

uh, you need another app to do that.

most people use objectbar. you can find some themes at aqua-soft.org.

Steve Grenier didn't go all out Tiger. His icons are Panther. KoL's WB version is better than Steve's but no other addon's included. Actully 100% following OS X is also not so refreshing. You'd feel bored sooner or later. I'd prefer hybrid ones. WB + Styler + ObjectBar + Iconpackager + Logonstudio. Fantastic mix.

While I think it's nice that there are Mac themes for Windows, a complete modification (system files, layouts etc) is a bad idea. It just never looks anything like the real deal, and it's always irritating to use.

I'd just stick with a Mac-like theme - don't bother going for a 'transformation pack'. I guarantee you'll want to change it back after a while.

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
