+Ichigo+ Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 Ok I want to change everything on my pc to look like a mac. (Yes i do onw a mac as well and i like the GUI compared to windows) If anyone has shell styles, icons anything, even if i can change the close buttons to the left side of the screen please tell me where to get them. I have tried a lot of visual styles but i dont like most of them :p Please attach anything you have. Thanks in advance Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/88808-complete-xp-to-mac-conversion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeikus Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 I'd recommend you check out virtualplastic.net I think they have a section on how to concert Windows to Mac, Linux, etc...

Zennith Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 visit : www.deviantart.com for both windowblinds and visual styles. www.wincustomize.com for windowblinds and objectbar skins.(emulated mac menu) Shell Icons : Search the board. There's afew to name : Snow E and Umicons. WindowBlinds allows you to change the position of minmaxclose buttons to the left of the window. And since you dislike visual styles, try window blinds. But prepare to pay for it coz it's a time-based trial program for users to see if they like it.

dreamz Veteran Posted June 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 29, 2003 check out iceman's stuff (icons, visual styles, shell32, lots of system files, etc.) here: http://www.jonmega.com/~iceman/ and also go to http://aqua-soft.org/ and the forums. also try http://aquaxp.com/ forums. reshack some icons. get a dock (y'z, moby, objectdock).

Zennith Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 dreamz, please don't mention 'getting' Y'z Dock. The project has been stopped by a letter frm a law firm over in Japan to Mr Y, halting his development on the application itself. So, there's no way you can get Y'z Dock anywhere 'legally'.

dreamz Veteran Posted June 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 29, 2003 oh oops. you're right, my mistake. i'm anxious to see what's going on with all of this. but anyway, at least for now, you can still get objectdock and moby dock.

ali88 Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 (edited) ObjectDock can make your windows looks like mac :) Also Aston and window blinds and style xp and more! But no one quite looks like mac!

Zennith Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 if you want to add menus to the 'dock' , you can do it using DesktopX , another paying software from Windowblinds. But you can emulate the 'play stop pause and stuff' , context menus I mean like the ones in mac. :) It's offered as different skins for download too.

dreamz Veteran Posted June 29, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 29, 2003 actually, you can use kkmenu (found on wincustomize somewhere) to get the menu. it's a free application to use on the dock. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/88808-complete-xp-to-mac-conversion/#findComment-1000216 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endoscient Posted June 29, 2003 Share Posted June 29, 2003 u can get YZ dock legally, just not from mr. y. it just asked to stop devolpment and redistrobution from mr y.

Zennith Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Mr Y hit the panic button and stopped DT2 from distro-ing it on their website. dreamz, I went to the website, but can't find 'kkmenu' , do you have a direct link to it? I'm guessing it's for OD exclusively only right? I'm running 0.95 of OD now, testing it. But, I think I still like my weather and ical on the dock better :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/88808-complete-xp-to-mac-conversion/#findComment-1003132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamz Veteran Posted June 30, 2003 Veteran Share Posted June 30, 2003 kkmenu works on y'z also. check it out here: http://www.aqua-soft.org/board/index.php?s...?showtopic=4148 i have an older version. not sure exactly how the new one is, but apparently (and you'll find a lot more info at that forum), it supports a new skinning method and submenus!!

zhangm Supervisor Posted June 30, 2003 Supervisor Share Posted June 30, 2003 Here's a pic of what KkMenu can look like. Its very customizable.

OldeCrow Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 KkMenu is pretty slick :) downloaded it the other day .. it uses command line switches to load different menus and different skins so you can have a icon bar full of drop down menus if you want .. there is not a lot of documentation but its pretty easy to figure out .. it has a batch file in the archive with a sample command line argument so you can see it work and you just have to right click on the menu to get to the configuration .. im thinking of dumping my Y'z Dock and just floating a taskbar toolbar with a bunch of KkMenu links in it and hidding the taskbar .. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/88808-complete-xp-to-mac-conversion/#findComment-1023919 Share on other sites More sharing options...
