Errrm. I think the original poster just wants a Vista theme for OSX not actually run a copy of Vista. I mean, its not OSX is it.

And why not? The new glass effects in Vista are acutally quite good (for Windows at least) would be nice to see a new glass interface in the next version of OSX. :yes:

Hey, does anyone know of, or is able to create a windows vista (longhorn) theme for Shapeshifter ( Panther 10.3.9).

Thanks

Currently there's Ruler Aero which is pretty close to the glass style (albeit with some large bugs).

Pyn over at MacThemes is also working on a variant of the Vista look but they're currently having database issues and I can't link you to the relevant thread.

the finder window isn't possibly form my experience anyway.. unless you try a similar method to the aero theme by using a large image so you can get that striped look. the metal areas of os x cause me problems when skinning cause you have to dumb down skins a bit for them.

Are you insane? Apple did experiment with transparency in the OS with 10.2 - it's not usable. Speaking of usable, the "Glass" interface is ANYTHING but usable.

Microsoft did something right with Aero. I'm a MS hater in some ways, even though I use Windows (but I really, really, really want a mac, just can't afford one).

Anyway, the Glass stuff in vista looks very usable to me, why not have a little eye candy?

It isn't even eye candy, in my opinion. It lacks color, the transparency is WAY too much, the blur makes it unusable. What's the usefulness of being able to see through your windows and have it blurred? Sure it's a cool effect, but not usable at all. I mean, At least Luna had color

WOW! I never thought I'd see the day that Apple users would try and copy the interface of a Microsoft operating system.

Well you've certainly been missing out much huh? Below: Luna theme for Mac OS X, it's been there since Mac OS X 10.1 or so.

I wanted to port my Vista theme to OSX but I really hate how themes are created for OSX. Just replacing resources.

Here's a mockup. I dont know if some things are possible.

I really like that, like how you kept the Apple logo, and the windows sorta look like black iPods IMO

also, isn't that how msstyles are done, replacing resources? :D

yeah, the special effects are nice and all, but when all of your titlebars are one transparent and blended together, it get's hard to use, Apple tried it and nobody liked the effect.

Did show off some of the simple stuff WindowServer could do though, and now with CoreImage and Tiger, well, each window on the system could appear with the Ripple effect if apple wanted, but that would get annoying. :yes:

No createing windows themes (msstyles and wb skins) are much more than that. Yes you replace image but you can move object like buttons, you can add effects, change content and sizing margins, changes sizes of taskbar, titlebar, buttons, startmenu, etc. and much more.

    • They're too big to fail at this point. Even if Microsoft shutters entire divisions tomorrow, they'll be in the green for a long time because of how entrenched they are in the enterprise sector. Just look at politics. The people in charge are often some of the dumbest specimens humanity has ever produced. And yet, countries aren't crashing and burning every other day.
    • Exchange Online receiving one of its "most requested" features next month by Usama Jawad While most people are familiar with Outlook as their email client, especially within organizations deeply entrenched in the Microsoft stack, it is actually Exchange which powers the backend for this platform. What this means is that any enhancement to Exchange also gets flown downstream to Outlook. As such, Outlook users and IT admins will be pleased to know that Exchange Online is getting one of its "most requested" enhancements. Essentially, Message Recall will soon start working in cross-tenant environments. Previously, it only worked within a single tenant, which meant that if you wanted to recall an email accidentally sent to an external user, you were out of luck. Customers told Microsoft that they disliked this gap, especially when the two organizations emailing each other had trust between them. As such, Microsoft has decided to implement the Message Recall experience cross-tenant as well. Since the basis of this functionality is trust, IT admins will need to add each other in an allow list to enable this capability. Control rests with the recipient, so if Company A wants to recall a message sent to Company B, it is necessary that the latter adds Company A to the designated allow list. If they do not add the company to the allow list, recall attempts will fail with an appropriate error message. This feature is disabled by default, so IT admins will need to add at least one external tenant to their allow list first. The following Exchange Online PowerShell command will toggle cross-tenant Message Recall: Set-CrossTenantRecallConfiguration -CrossTenantRecallEnabled [$true | $false] And the cmdlet below will allow you to manage your allow list: Set-CrossTenantRecallConfiguration -AllowedSenderTenantIds @{Add="tenantId 1","tenantId 2"}; {Remove="tenantId 1","tenantId 2"} Cross-tenant recall works exactly as it does in intra-tenant environments. It is especially useful when communicating with trusted partners, subsidiaries, contractors, and more. Microsoft will begin rolling it out to worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD and Microsoft 365 environments operated by 21Vianet from mid-August, with completion planned for mid-September.
    • Now that is just desperate LMAO. Throwing a tantrum just because you lost the AI race. Better focus on innovating than trying to stop competition from blazing past you.
    • MS will replace open AI with their own models soon enough.
    • Funny how that works, yet seems so hard for these companies.
