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.

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?

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.

    • too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
