What is Windows to Mac Swap (Look alike):
If you are someone crazy about Macbook and using a Windows OS then this post is for you.
By following the step by step instructions in this post you will be able to make your Windows look like Mac OSX Lion Inspirat (works fine with all versions of windows 7 however windows XP and Vista has come compatibility issues and may require proper service packs, hence recommended for 7); remember just the appearance gets changed and your OS will still be windows.
Why is it important:
- All the icons including My Computer,Control Panel, Folders, Music etc. gets changed to look like mac.
- You can easily personalise the folders by changing ColorFolder Skin.
- Minimize, Restore and Close buttons gets changed to mac like Green, Yellow and Red buttons
- You can start using Rocket Dock menu.
- Windows welcome message changes to MAC OSX Welcome and while Shutting down it will display MAC OSX Shutting down.. 😛
- Cursors,Sounds/Notifications,Visual Style,Backgrounds etc. etc also gets changed to look like mac.
Above mentioned are few highlights of the pack and there are lot many features which you can enjoy once you install it.
