NeYo

BTW... i added "About IE6" B'cus i just wanted 2 make sure u guys knew it was IE, and not the 3rd party app i used 2 use, Aqua Browser!

[Krome]

Dang... I can't believe that's Windows.... looks exactly like a Mac... or is that a Mac? I can't tell even after reading your spec...

[Binary]

Neyo do you happen to have a smooth lucida grande tt font? I have been looking everywhere but cant find any that arnt really warped and/or grainy looking :)

[Jayzun]

neyo...i know you were wondering before how to change the IE bars...soooooo...it looks like you've done it. Where do you change these bitmaps at? Thanks.

[Steve]

Oooh, Tha Font, Hmmmm... I Dunno Dude!? LOL...

The Theme i am Using (msstyles) "AquaMax" use's one... and it does look pretty minted! Trouble is, i dunno which one it is... I'll Go inta Tha Fonts Folder Later.. and Drag Some Out...

As For IE Bar...

I Found StarDock's WebBlinds Does the Job, just as well as a RegHack... So i'm Using that! With a Cool Skin... I'll Show ya the Other Kinda Buttons in the Skin inna mo... It's Cool!

Hmm I think it's time to try WebBlinds again. Been awhile since I've used that program. But when I had it on 98SE, I remember liking it. IE can get so boring to look at...

[heads over to Stardock]

[velocity3k]

[Steve]

LOL! Yes OF Course It's a PC! LOL

any chance u could post all the files or links to them that u use to make your comp look like that

[Danrarbc]

This is the first time I've posted here, but I've been using this as a source for skins for a while.

That is the best OSX immitation I've ever seen.

I'm with the guy above me, you need to post the files you used to make that happen. I've tried to download them from Aqua-Soft, but their links are broken.

I would really like to be able to change IE without webblinds...I keep trying stardock products and end up turning them off about 10 minutes later...I just cannot stand the look. Not a knock...just a personal opinion. Anyway...how do you change the toolbars with reghacker or reshacker...or whatever...anything beside a seperate program that sits on top.

[suprfli]

damn neyo...i thought my desktop looked good. lol. :s

see, i like OSX but there are some things i don't like about it like the finder and i like my close/min/max buttons on the right and not left which i'm used to after using windows for so many years. i think desktopX can sometimes be more hassle than the benefit it provides and isn't worth my time. i like that you have the icons at the bottom and they are transparent. are you using aquadock for that?

here's my desktop for anyone who's interested.

[suprfli]

dammit. i meant to preview that post and not post it. sorry for the large JPG.

for anyone wondering i'm using OSX 1.5 for themeXP, glass2k to make the taskbar semi-transparent and a kickass new transparent app for the command line called console w/NO slowdown using stylexp or WB.

[noodle]

Im also wondering about the links to the different apps used by Neyo. What application allows the "object bar" at the bottom?

I think he's using AquaDock, that was one of the programs he listed afterall.

I'd post my own desktop, but my computer is too slow to run all thats required. :(

'Nuff Sed! ;)

BTW... Come on Guys ... there Must be MORE OS X Inspired Desktops Out there?! ...:D

[sheer]

The first one is using a square edged aqua theme, the second is standard aqua (graphite style). The dock has been hacked on both to remove the lined background in both pics, and in the first one the terminal transparency has been hacked. I can also take some snaps of a theme called Sosumi, and other snaps of the desktop for anyone developing an OSx theme.

Personally on my XP box I use Blackcomb 1.1 since I already have 2 boxes running OSx.

Edit: Sorry about the size of the pics, perhaps you could use a [LVLSHOT] hack like other UBBs?

[Steve]

:D :D :D

Nice! :)

...Deffo Looking 4Ward 2 getting my Mac!

[Danrarbc]

sheer, that iTunes is a little TOO perfect. Are you sure that isn't a real OSX desktop?

Edit: Oops :p Guess I missed where he said it really was OSX.

[Binary]

sheer, why are the titlebars squared? just wondering :)

[thuggers]

thats what mine looks like on occasion. I really get bored of it though sometimes.

Because the guy who did the theme made it that way :)

Default OSx is rounded title bars.

Here's the Sosumi theme I'm using now, another with square edges...
