    OSX in Windows XP?

    Yes, it IS possible.

    Did the theme about a week ago. Added the Aqua icons just now.


    100% Windows XP with no Mac programs. Everything is only on my useraccount -- no system file modifications, and every other user on the system still has their default XP themes.

    XP is like Microsoft and AOL had a baby, and then AOL dropped teh baby on its head.

      Yeah, I can do the same thing in KDE on Linux. Make it look like Windows XP, OSX, or anything else. Currently I am using a theme that doesn't look like either of them but incorporates features of both.

        Sadly, I won't have Linux installed until I get PartitionMagic and divide up a partition for it. Linux doesn't need 40GB.

          My Linux does... Then again I don't have Windows on my machine.

              I have yet to see even a decent replica of the menu bar and, more importantly, the Dock. All the fake Docks I've used are completely worthless and behave nothing like the actual Dock (hold running programs and EASILY DRAGGABLE other programs).

                  I have; have you used the real OS X dock? Object Desktop and other programs just don't get it anywhere near right.

                      No, but I'll tell you what I'm using.

                      StyleXP with Iceman's OSX skin
                      Y'z Shadow (gives windows a mac-like shadow)
                      Y'z Toolbar (to skin IE, Windows Explorer, etc.'s toolbars)
                      Y'z Dock (for the bottom dock)

                      And a ton of icons from iconfactory.com, namely their 'World of Aqua' series.

                          Thats to much work Default XP style works okay for me. Now if someone would create mandrake skin or something, maybe I would install that. Purple is coooo

                            I'm thinking of getting that 17" PowerBook G4 and an iPod.

                            iPod, I can afford. 17" PowerBook G4... maybe later.
