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

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
