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.

Ok, i've downloaded Flyakite OS Xv.2.0, install it and reboot, and then get alll blank screen!!! Any idea. I don't even know whether i've booted windows!

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?

Hmm... thought of something.... to fix ur problem, try booting into safemode and then uninstalling Flyakite OS Xv.2.0. This should work... try and see lah but dun blame me if anything else goes wrong sweat.gif whistling.gif laugh.gif thumbup.gif

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
