I was trying to convince myself that I wasnt trying to impersonate a mac but I am.
Everything is almost perfect! You cant see it but I also have mac cursors. And i know that the bar doesnt look as much like a mac but i think that looks better. But back to the subject...I want a top bar thing like a mac has. I dont want it to show open programs but if i could put sound and battery and wireless netowrks on the right side of it. Even if it doesnt have file and edit and stuff sooo ummm... I need a top bar. Any suggestions? I dont want to do any major system type changes. Maybe just a program or something. |

the dock is a little off, too. OS X has a more glassy effect, partially transparent and crisp corners.
this might help: http://www.engadget.com/2004/06/09/turn-your-pc-into-a-mac/ also, if you have XP (not with service pack 3), this is perfect: flyakite. it sort of works with SP3, but there are a few bugs, and the author hasn't updated it in over a year. |

I don't understand what you mean by a top bar for windows... do you mean a "task bar"?
Or just a Menu bar + internet connectivity + time + date etc? Like this: |

What?
If you configure objectbar properly, it's not bad at all. |

Tiger isn't that old. I think it's more visually appealing than Leopard.

Leopard does have some nice features. If I ever get a computer with Leopard installed, I'd definitely re-skin it to look like Tiger.
Edit: Vista is older than Tiger. And XP, an even older version of Windows, is still the most common OS. |

No way! The dock and top bar are worse. And icons and stuff.

You're crazy. OSX Tiger is the most visually appealing OS I've ever seen. And it's by far the most visually appealing non-obscure OS.

The latest one is the best.
Not the one posted.Cause the bar is a square and the top bar is white. I would say its the second most appealing. But the latest one is so sexy. It gets a little boring sometimes though. Atleast for people who like modding. |
