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

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.

      Nice rant! Expletive after expletive after expletive. Poor petal, I've touched a nerve. Would you like a tissue to wipe those tears away. Btw, nice one calling Neowin trash. Why would you stick around when you disrespect this site and the people behind it? Just go away if you feel that way.

    • Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1

      By Copernic · Posted

      Internet Download Manager (IDM) 6.43 Build 1 by Razvan Serea Internet Download Manager (IDM) is a tool to increase download speeds by up to 8 times due to its smart dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators, Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process, and it reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve the best possible acceleration performance. Comprehensive error recovery and resume capability will restart broken or interrupted downloads due to lost connections, network problems, computer shutdowns, or unexpected power outages. All popular browsers are supported IDM integrates seamlessly into Google Chrome, FireFox, Microsoft Edge, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, Maxthon and all other popular browsers to automatically handle your downloads. You can also drag and drop files, or use Internet Download Manager from command line. The program supports proxy servers, ftp and http protocols, firewalls, redirects, cookies, authorization, MP3 audio and video content processing. IDM includes web site spider and grabber IDM downloads all required files that are specified with filters from web sites, for example all pictures from a web site, or subsets of web sites, or complete web sites for offline browsing. It's possible to schedule multiple grabber projects to run them once at a specified time, stop them at a specified time, or run periodically to synchronize changes. Easy downloading with one click When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it. You don't need to do anything special, just browse the Internet as you usually do. IDM will catch your downloads and accelerate them. IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols. Changes in Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1: Added the ability to download MP4 files from web sites where previously only TS videos were available. IDM displays both TS and MP4 file formats in its video download button. If you only need MP4 files, disable TS in IDM Options -> General tab -> Customize IDM Download panels in browsers -> Edit button. Remove TS extension on "Customize IDM Download panel in browsres" dialog Fixed video downloading problems on several popular web sites Fixed bugs Download: Internet Download Manager 6.43 Build 1 | 11.9 MB (Shareware) Links: Internet Download Manager Website | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

      This is of course "clickbait" WTF? It is literally your example but tech based. A "clickbait" title is a sensationalized headline designed to manipulate readers into clicking a link using things like "fear" rather than delivering objective facts. A "clickbait" headline also usually provides little value compared to the hype generated. How does this headline not qualify? It's a generic often reused headline that is overly sensationalized. Oh no! "millions" can't use this app anymore. It has no basic facts like what f*cking app. You read the article and it's the Samsung VPN which no one cares about and there is a million free VPNs. How are you defending this ######? Headlines like this (and among other things) make me read Neowin much less than I used to in the past. It's trash...
