I just converted my Windows XP into a Mac OS x Leopard. Click here for a preview (Don’t right click and open in a new tab/window). What I did may not be the easiest way but if you want a quick make over, just follow the links. You can transform a Windows Vista too.
Things i did to get this.
- Disabled Windows file protection.
- Replaced Shell32.dll, Mydocs.dll, Explorer.Exe with newer and updated files.
- Installed Window blinds. Found and applied Mac OSX Leopard Visual style.
- Installed MacSearch for Spotlight.
- Installed RK launcher.
- Installed new Shader called SwiftShader for minimize & maximize effects.
- Installed and applied Mac Cursors for my mouse pointer.
- Installed Yahoo Widgets.
- Got High Quality Mac style wallpapers
Now, I don’t even remember what all I did. The above list is a few things I recall. I did all this without transformation packs. A Perfect mac may never be achieved no matter how skilled you are. So keep tweaking until you feel its right. Or of course, if you got money to burn. Buy a mac.
Next week, i think i’ll go for Gnome =) I’ll never go for Windows Vista by the way. Just hate that thing.
Here is a list of pages that’ll help you transform yours.
- Nineteen labs
- deviantillusionz
- Consolespot – A forum with more tweaks.
Hope you have fun =) If you got questions, just leave a comment and i’ll get back to you.
