I was at a friend of a friend's place the other night and was using his computer...and he had a cool skin that made his XP look like the Mac OS (icons on the bottom of the screen instead of a toolbar, and when you roll over it the icon becomes larger).

I searched through the forums and through other sites and haven't been able to find this anywhere...so you're help is appreciated.

Thanks for the help.

K. Thx. Pwned.

:D

Go check out the neowin.net forums for this, they've got a huge area devoted to that. :p Also, any number of the Friday Desktop threads have at least one OSXP conversion.

What you people are doing is like renting a hooker for the night and dressing it up like Angelina Jolie. It may look alright on the surface, but damned if it still sucks like a 2 dollar whore...


i don't know where i am going with this analogy, nevermind.

It's funny to see people complain about using mac skins in windows or linux. Sorry I don't want to pay thousands of dollars for an over priced machine when I can run the theme I enjoy on my hand built 400 dollar linux box that most likely outperforms something you'd pay 3000 dollars for.

It's funny you bring up performance because flashy themes sure won't help. ;) ;)

Isn't 15 years old a little bit young for performance anxiety?

Hahaha, there is nothing flashy about skins. Perhaps if you add those silly docks or translucent menu options it takes a slowdow in performance.
