Too late bud. It's been done.

..and whaddyaknow? Same VS too! :happy:

[Matt T]

yeah, I already knew about FlyakiteOSX. I started working on Mac VS X in December last year and I only heard about FlyakiteOSX last week - I wasn't about to throw all the work I had done away just because of this. Besides, I think it could be done better.

Hopefully you'll see Mac VS X will have it's advantages when it hits v1 :happy:

Pfft... Just go buy a Mac... :ninja:

LOL Just kidding... I was there not too long ago, though I do have my Mac mini now. There's only so much you can do to make it seem like a Mac, but it's so much different once you actually sit down and use a Mac.

LOL - more true words have never been spoken.

Believe me, if I could I would buy a Mac - I adore Apple. I'm trying to get my hands on an iMac. Until then, this is the best I can do. :)

And I completely understand. I was incredibly happy to get the money for my Mac mini... Now I'll never go back to using my Windows machine as my primary computer.

question: would an installer be a good idea, or would you prefer to have Mac VS X the way it is now (everything in folders and you change everything manually)?

[Ethere]

Definatly an installer. Something that could be reversed if need arise. Plus, this would make it a little easier for those who don't know how to replace system files on their own.

Really looks great~ The skins look just like Mac. A long way it still has. If the hock and the taskbar & menu can be changed into sth like Mac, it'll be greater. I just thought the hardest one is to customize the menu just make it like Mac's. Hold on.

But, but don't you think it is a little bit too large the size?

I think you should inculde an installer version, and a zip, just to make everyone happy.

The visual style was contributed by KoL - any suggestions should go to him :)

And as for the size, I'd love to make it smaller but at the moment I can't.
