I think...
either u unistall FlykiteOSX...
or u also just change the theme...
Desktop -> right click -> properties -> appearence tab -> any other theme -> apply...


Correct me if i'm wrong..!!

AH! I've been looking for something like this for a long time....
Thanks alang.

Any way to get the min/max/close buttons to the left of the windows other than using windowblinds?

Hmm..... will that get the buttons to the left?
I'm wondering whether to let the installer loose on my system... Worried that it will mess up things it shouldn't be poking it's nose into... I'd rather know exactly what i'm installing... sweat.gif tongue.gif

I have applied KoL's visual styles (manually) before. Looked good enough except for the button issue...
Another problem i had was with YzToolbar... when i 1st apply a skin, it's ok, but when i close and reopen the window or open other new windows, the toolbar is not skinned anymore... >_<
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks.

flyakite installer won't give you the left button. You need 3rd party program like Window Blinds or ShellWM or get that.

OMG.... this is why i dun trust installers.....sweat.gif laugh.gif

BTW, my system specs are:
Intel P4 2.4GHz
768MB DDR RAM
GeForce4 MX440
Windows XP Pro

If i'm not mistaken, all this skinning can only be done on XP right? No Win98/ME...

In my experience, blank screens are either because the system cannot handle the new graphics (i.e. crappy video card or PC not thumbup.gif enough), or the new resolution/refresh rate is not supported by the monitor. I'm ony a noob at skinning, so that's all i know unfortunately... whistling.gif smile.gif tongue.gif Anyone have any other ideas?

I think the creator of this thread should consider changing the title "How to change Windows XP to Mac OS X". It's the theme, look and feel that you're changing, not the OS. To really change from Windows XP to Mac OS X, is to get a Mac, then load Mac OS X on it.

No offence, but the thread title is a bit misleading.
