Spoiler for Screenshot:

Someone wanted me to make a guide for my new setup so... here we go..
So, I heard that you want Vista/XP to look like Leopard? Here's what you need, first of all...

Spoiler for Application/Resouces List:

Here's what I have shown for vista.
Objectbar theme - Leopard perfect by Chaodam
Windowblinds - mac os x leopard 2 by blitzr
avetunes (coversutra) - ???
Dock icons - japanicons/mix

Not shown...
Miranda IM - Twitterrific (Not For release)
Firefox - foxdie by ???

These are just the basics of emulating the mac's look. If you wish to go farther, you may have to spend some time tweaking (epecially if you are on windows vista like moi.)

For those on XP, your options are much more broad. You can use Findexer, and Styler to further refine your Mac look. Even so, you have to use WindowsFx if you want Drop shadows.

Here's an example from the great PerfumeNK, who I admire very much. ^_^

I know that it isn't exactly super extensive, but I'll be updating with new links when something comes up.

Spoiler for Skins/Extension applications :

Spoiler for What's new?:

**xpack** · 12-22-2007, 05:26 PM

Thanks at the moment I have the tiger theme but I'm definitly going to set this up instead

**androidkaita** · 12-22-2007, 09:54 PM

nice, but where is the visual style for XP users T_T?

**Seven_** · 12-23-2007, 06:20 AM

You can't use a visual style if you want the fully functioning scrollbar, and leftsided traffic buttons with the rollup icon, sadly.

I'll still go to find more visual styles though.

**MasterChief1234** · 12-23-2007, 01:43 PM

How does this look ?

**Seven_** · 12-23-2007, 01:58 PM

It's getting there. Toning down the dock to about 48px, changing the icons from Microsoft stock, and getting Objectbar running will make it look more convincing.

What do you all think about me posting links to Tiger/Panther styles, and other GUIkits, to make this a Vista/XP to Leopard/Tiger thread?

**androidkaita** · 12-23-2007, 08:48 PM

I went back to explorer shell, and My taskbar would not appear. When I rebooted, I saw it for all of 2 seconds, and it looked nice, but I dont know why its doing that.

**Seven_** · 12-24-2007, 01:45 AM

Search Avedesk, get that. And at the same website Avetunes is available as a extension.

I know. I hate the Stock 3d Dock... So I deleted and made my own version of the 2d dock. I don't only want to emulate the look, I want to modify it too.

Stacks clone just came out for Y'z Dock, Rk Launcher, Objectdock, Rocketdock, etc..

I'll post new links soon, and a new screenshot example.

New screenshot showing off the stacks up.

**androidkaita** · 12-24-2007, 12:15 PM

Yay I got AveTunes working now

oh wow, I love that stack docklet thing, its so awesome

**Seven_** · 12-28-2007, 12:02 PM

Updated for all of you, now that I have XP.

The one above your post? Iono. You are going to ask the deviant, depthnerd.

**Nevada** · 12-28-2007, 07:00 PM

why don't you guys just download... 'aquire' the osx 10.5.1 x86 kalyway release, actually install leopard on your pc's and have done?

**Seven_** · 12-28-2007, 07:14 PM

My Laptop won't support the drivers needed. Plus, I perfer deskmodding Windows. It's more fun to me, and I like to stylize Leo's look. To myself, it's not so much about it looking like Leopard, it's more of using it as a base for innovation.

**Moose** · 12-29-2007, 04:26 AM

Is this in order of installation?

**AndyMosh** · 12-29-2007, 04:49 AM

Nevada is there a site with the list of specs on for the kalway release?

iatkos 1.0i is better.

And guys the best part about the newest osx86 is that they can be up[graded from software update. Meaning, all you have to do is get the install working the first time, and you'll have osx86 for life.

**Seven_** · 12-29-2007, 08:55 PM

'Nother example for you all..

**carboycam** · 01-02-2008, 10:07 AM

Sorry for the small bump, but this is great. I've only ever used a Mac once, and it was great. Im going through all your links and creating my own Mac look. Thanks for your effort finding these links Seven_. Do you have a Custom Bootskin and Logon Screen too?

Edit:

How did you get the bar at the top so round and crisp (mine's not smooth and curved), and did you delete all you desktop shortcuts, or have you hidden them?

**Seven_** · 01-02-2008, 10:30 AM

Installing Flyakite will install a custom one.

**carboycam** · 01-02-2008, 10:44 AM

Will it be OK to install Flyakite even with my Mac Theme applied, or will it be best to return everything to default?
