Here's my osx style, using a surprisingly good aqua desktop x theme. I cant find an Aqua webblinds theme anywhere so could someone point me in the right direction? ~~Neyo~~?

And i've just found out that the damn Objectbar trial doesn't let you install your own themes. And i've got about 5 now, Damn you stardock...

Yeah thats a desktop x dock, i've posted the link on the january destkop thread. Sheer has posted his REAL Mac OS X desktop there. It's pushing me further towards buying a new iMac...

The download on the dock is there. What makes you think i edited shell32.dll?

I also have to confess to not liking the Aquadock program at all

Dude... i see on tha Taskbar... U have a HTml page running..

Well.. u see the icon, used 2 show an open IE Window is that Lame Ass Blue and White icon thing....

u shud edit ... that really annoyed me... Luckily... i found the dll and edited...

If ya wanna... its MSHTML.dll (obv System32!)

As For AquaDock!? ..Why Do u hate it So Much? ... i did @ 1st... esp wen most App's Icons look Awful... but as u can see... u can do some tidying up with them... and it dont look so bad... All u gotta do is edit the window icon, for that app... in most case's is easy... unless its a Windows App like IE, OE, Media Playa... etc! ... then u have 2 get tha DAMN Dll... Lol!

but i like the dock now... and i actually use it, as a task switcher... its not just eye candy! ... i wish it could have some animation whereby wen an app would usually flash, in the taskbar.. the icon bobs up and down or something... Cus Messenger is a pain wen u dont have Sound, and u ditched the taskbar! ... :p

Holla Back...

John Folden (pretty well known OS skin author) just updated his H20 skin (Graphite Aqua skin).

Here's what it looks like.

The Apple lawyers just to do the rounds on the websites looking for this stuff. They once threatened to sue just for a SCREENSHOT showing a Mac skin. It's amazing how far things have come since then.

frogboy - that's a very impressive Aqua-style skin you guys have over there. doesn't have the common 'huge-assed ugly title bar' that i've seen quite often on the .msstyles Aqua-based themes. the buttons look pretty smooth, and except for the font usage (ugh), would look perfect in its default settings.

maybe it's time for me to give WB 3.0 a shot again..hold on, lemme set up a system restore point now ;)

I can't take credit, John Folden was actually one of the guys who helped create the popular shareware program NeXTStart (www.winstep.net). He's a great skinner. Most of the best OS skins were done by him.

I find ObjectBar still a bit buggy for constant use. The new verson implements those smart menus thingies (where programs you havent' used in awhile don't show up by default) which is what kept me from using it in the past - I need that feature, I've got like 200 programs installed so I really need it to not show all 200 when I choose "All programs". That feature seems broken on XP for some reason but I could just be doing something wrong. But I digress.

Neoguigui....

That Looks Pretty Sweet..! ...BUT...(Damn i hate these BUTS! lol)

Can i assume, thats the Desktop X Finder, and the Popup Dock Menu!?

i have that theme too... But i simply Cannot stick the 1024*768 re limit ... There's NO Space...

...And... The Finder Is Pretty Useless too! :( ... i know WinMac is By no Means as Cool as Object Bar, in terms of functionality! ... but u can get used 2 it!

... i love the theme though... and before i began 2 hate 1024*768 .. it was Sweet!

Nonetheless, it looks pretty damn Cool!!!

...Guys... WE HAVE 2 Keep this Thread Going... it's Becoming the Heart and Soul, of Neowin! LOL! ...Well OK, Not Quite... But hey... it was my "big Speech" part! lol!

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
