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.

Hmm... i agree... but i didnt notice it until you brought it up 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...

I having some problems.The MSN can open and sign in but when i click on Open Messenger in did't show up how to do ?

alang i have a question here if i changed to another user and that user dont have OSX can i install it at the user and will it effect the PC crash ?

I think the user must have the 'admin' privilages in order for user to installed anything

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.

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

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

Thanks Joey-kun.

Does both of these theme mod require that i run the UXTheme Patcher?
What will happen if i didn't use the patch?

after i using flakite for 2 weeks, my icon back to normal (default win xp icon)
how can i change back to mac icon?

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.

my icon back to mac whan i run updater.. forgot to use this..keke
