OSX desktops...

[BananaMan]

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! :)

disciple: it's lookin nice. please include all of the icons in the theme. even though it's done from a screenshot of OSX i agree that the start button's blue does look really dark. also, if you include a way to get rid of the start logo and replace it w/an apple that would be awesome.

Hey!?

BTW... Here's That Desktop Picture Ya Was After!

...Finally...

BTW... Guys! ... This Post Is F**kin' Superb! It'd Be Even Cooler, if there was a Sub section in this "Customizing Windows XP" Forum, Maybe Titled SomeThing like Aqua Theming?! That'd be Sweet! Otherwise... we gonna have 2 make this thread BIG! ;)

Keep It Up Guys!

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!

Not bad! I See it's tha Normal Mac theme, From ObjectBar!

I see Some nice Aqua Themes Which Do Object Bar Proud...

But i Dunno... Paying Even More Money! DAMN...!

I already Use

WebBlinds

Windows Blinds

Desktop X

Windows FX

LOL!

BUt hey... it's not bad! ;)

i love the way the bar is dynamic, like it is on the real finder... if only it was Free.. Or Skinnable to Aqua/OS X For Free! DAMN!

Ok, I had another go at it. Again this was not meant to exactly duplicate OSX, but meant to imitate it.

Heavily compressed, blah blah.

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.

[Steve]

Does Any1 know what Defines the Font Size, of the Text Used in the "Tabs" ?!

As U Can See... they are a Lil' Too Big For the Tabs...

Besides that... It looks Really Aqua'y?! huh?!

PLZ... Some1 Fill Me In.. It's Annoying! Lol!

It's not a special distru. It's just mandrake linux running an aquatheme. I don't know what the name is of it. I just saw this screenshot on a site and i decided to post it.

But it's a gnome aquatheme. That's all i know.

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

Using Disciple's VS, objectbar, and PowerPro for the "dock".
