Looks cool, but if there was one thing I hated more then Microsoft's un-ethical choices, is Mac. Hate there products (apart of Ipods) and there OS look. :(

Cool non the less. :)

That looks like a cheap reskin of what the Leopard GUI actually looks like.

Uhh, isn't that the point?

The point is to make it look as authentic as possible. Nobody sets out to make something seem underdone.

Does anyone know where I can find a good Finderbar for Vista? This one is kinda buggy, and when I play Halo, it just closes it out.

The dock is all wrong (stylistically, should have reflections of the icons and icons should be "above" it, not on it), the Apple logo is supposed to be black, the taskbar is too transparent, and the letters on said taskbar aren't black enough. Don't get me started on the tray. This is a worthy attempt, but it falls far short. You can get a better Leopard imitation using XP or Ubuntu.

Vista is so complicated -.-'

Why doesn't Microsoft just make a program with a theme changer? Open source so people can make new themes. That way there aren't so many people hacking their dll's and screwing it up the first time they try.

They don't want people screwing around with their OS so they hope the average user would be scared off by the "complexity" of "hacking" their OS just to see some unnecessary visual effects. And they don't care if you mess up your OS, they probably hope you're stupid enough to go out and buy it again or buy a new computer altogether which would include a version of their OS.

Also, why let users make their own themes when you could force them to buy themes?

This is a more provident idea.
