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

Cool... i guess i was Hoping u was Gonna Say... NO i Downloaded a Real Awesome Dock App... here's a link! LOL ...Damn

I thought u may have edited Shell32.dll ... Cus the drive icons on the Desktop... after all, they aint' Shortcuts... ...or did u ditch the Shortcut icon!?

oh! One More thing...

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!

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
