Mac Icons

Sunday, May 2, 2004 by Quokka1979 | Discussion: Skinning

Is there a way to change the Icons in windows XP so that they look like the Mac ones.
I like the nice clean look from Mac.

Like the next and back button to get the together like a mac.
I haven't found this feature within WindowsBlinds.

Thx

If your refering to the toolbar icons that show in explorer, you can use SkinStudio to create your own toolbar and then apply it using WindowBlinds Advanced configuration settings under My Toolbars

I Know, But If you look @ a Macs back/next button, ist more or less one button. I was wondering if there is a way to do this?

I don't have a mac so I can't see what you're talking about

The Back/Forward buttons allow you to go way back or way forward (that little down arrow thing)...I guess the reason the are so far apart. You can always disable the text on the toolbar and bring them closer together, but I haven't used a Mac and don't know what it's toolbar really looks like either.

I mean buttons like the front/back as in Sagari (OS X) they are melted and work in both ways

I know exactly what you mean! And I know how to change the icons
I am currently running IconPackager, DesktopX, ObjectDock, ObjectBar, WindowsBlinds, WindowsFX, Bootskin & Logon Studio just to make my Windows XP Home look and feel like Mac OSX 10.0 (The white version).

To change most common icons, you can use IconPackager of course, but I found some really neat stuff on Iceman's website. If you download his system files and replace the original Windows' with his, all icons will be changed (shell32.dll for example). On his website there are some screen shots...

His URL is: http://www.jonmega.com/iceman/


Hope it helps
