Wow, these are really trippy desktops!

Just a question for all you OSX desktop-modder fanatics, I'm a little interested in giving my desktop an OSX facade, but does all these extra programs interfere with things like games or common tasks in a bad way? I'm just worried about being in the middle of a deathmatch and all of a sudden an aqua dock begins to flash at the bottom of my screen and so forth.

Thanks in advance! :)

Superfli, Ain't It Just A Case of Swapping Bitmap 143 For a Apple Logo (Shudn't it be 25*20 Pixels...?!), and the "Start" String text?! ... thats what i did!

Disciple, Can u make the Taskbar Smaller, in height, like in another screen shot in this thread, or if U're Familar with the Jayson Owens's Work ... the Theme "AquaBase" also has the taskbar ' a reduced height! That'd Be Cool!

As i sed B4... i love tha Theme just tha Same! ;)

Keep up this Excellent Work!

If Apple saw this, I bet they'd **** a brick.

Seeing how a lot of people are on Windows XP and making it look like OSX. I don't think they would be mad, but more flattered, really. It would probably open their eyes a bit and rub it into Windows. People, I'm sold. Once I get the cash, I'm getting and iMac2. It's everything a filmmaker needs.

Oh Apple knows about it. They confronted Stardock (makers of WindowBlinds) when people started making the Aqua skin. Sounded like Apple wasn't too happy about it

    • BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 by Razvan Serea BetterMediaInfo is a modern, open-source graphical user interface for MediaInfo, designed to improve metadata inspection workflows for audio and video files. It extracts and presents technical parameters such as codec profiles, bitrates, resolution, frame rate, stream ordering, and container-level attributes in a structured, readable layout. The interface is built with clarity and responsiveness in mind, supporting drag-and-drop functionality. It preserves the full feature set of the MediaInfo library while making the data easier to parse for users working in media management, encoding validation, or post-production environments. In short, BetterMediaInfo takes the power of MediaInfo and makes it much easier to use. Whether you're checking video quality, verifying audio settings, or just curious about a file's details, it gives you clear, organized info without the clutter. Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2, which is included in most Windows versions. BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 changelog: Added an Image stream table to the card view and detail view, including type, color space, resolution, and size fields. Added View settings to toggle Image stream tables in card view and detail view. Added BatchMkvMerge to the welcome page with localized descriptions and a GitHub link. Added a portable 7z archive to the Windows release artifacts. Improved first-run language selection by detecting the system language and saving it to configuration. Updated Italian translations.

    • We wrote about it here https://www.neowin.net/news/browser-vendors-pen-open-letter-to-microsoft-saying-enough-is-enough/ the open letter itself is here https://browserchoicealliance.org/open-letter/
    • Someone forgot to mention EDR in the title ? I think I will not click anymore on the articles written by this author. All are click bait.
    • Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.
