Maccabee
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?

Object bar. Get it.
Maccabee
I did. It sucks.

How again did you get kde on your computer? Or whatever you did.
heyo-captain-jack
What?

If you configure objectbar properly, it's not bad at all.
brooklyneast05
you mean the bar that runs along the top right?

maybe you should get a real mac joseph seasonal0.gif
Maccabee
Im not trying to imitate a mac.
Atleast im not anymore.
I dont even need a top bar anymore but I still want to find one.
brooklyneast05
weren't you supposed to be getting a macbook pro or something
Maccabee
I never know what im getting
brooklyneast05
well you needa get one.


i needa get leopard.
Maccabee
I know. you have a OLD version.
brooklyneast05
tiger
heyo-captain-jack
Tiger isn't that old. I think it's more visually appealing than Leopard.

yeah that's what i was gonna say, it's not even two years old. i want leopard for some of the features but i don't like the look of the dock and stuff as much.
heyo-captain-jack
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.
Maccabee
No way! The dock and top bar are worse. And icons and stuff.
heyo-captain-jack
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.
Maccabee
The latest one is the best.
Not the one seasonal0.gif 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.
