I don't think it will be misleading unless this thread is in General OS forum, visitors might think that the tutorials is to completely change the OS. But since this thread is in Desktop Customization forum, the changes make is just on the surface or your windows desktop.

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.

Hmm... i agree... but i didnt notice it until you brought it up tongue.gif laugh.gif But like alang said, this is in the Desktop Customization section... so most ppl would understand what it means.
Maybe it can be changed to "How to make Windows XP look Mac OS X" or something like that... thumbup.gif

Maybe it's because you're not using the correct version of MSN Messenger? If I'm not mistaken, the MSN skins only work properly with the MSN version they were created for.

Latest version of MSN Messenger is 7.5. thumbup.gif

Hi all, i'm quite new when it comes to desktop modding. Anyway, i've been using FlyAKite v2.0 for quite sometime already and yes there are a lot of stuff missing to make it more MAC like.

I've just formatted my laptop coz it's been buggy lately and i have a couple of questions which i like to ask all the gurus here.

1) if i'm installing FlyAKite v2.0, i'll have to install ShellWM, ObjectDock and etc to make it mac like. Is this true?

2) If i try WindowBlinds, i'll have to do the same as to install the above mentioned applications right?

So which of the above methods are the best way to mod my PC? I do not want it to be resource hungry.

Are WindowBlinds and FlyAKite easy to remove in case i don't want them anymore?

Thanks in advance smile.gif

1) flyakite has objectdock included.

2) yes.

both methods are not resource hungry (provided if you're using the latest version of windowblinds)

yes both can be undone with just a click at the uninstall button

The icon changed back to normal after some changes in the registry. This maybe caused by Windows update or installation of some applications. You can run the updater as suggested by FlyAKite OSX website but i found that this is not working. Alternatively you can try to run FlyAKite installer again.
