WB Request: OS X Leopard

Wednesday, April 27, 2011 by Onklifiziert | Discussion: Community

Hey guys,

I'm looking for an authentic Mac OS X Leopard skin but can't find one.

The Sabertooth skin that comes with WindowBlinds is ok but not perfect.

And then i found 2-3 on deviantART but they aren't good enough.

Maybe somebody here could find some time to create a Leopard WB.

 

thx in advance,

 

Tom

I use a MAC at work. Win7 at home. I've tried to run a MAC type setup at home but really it just doesn't cut it for me. My conclusion is that if you want MAC buy a MAC. When I say that I'm not being a smart ass. I really mean it. That's just what I think anyway.

Yes, that's what I want to hear

I know, Chas 

 

Well, the point is i'm using stuff wich would not run on a Mac, you know (some games and a few programs).

And that's the reason why i don't buy a Mac, but i love the design.

Onklifiziert i didnt tested it yet -but i was told that "VirtualBox" is able to run about anything...
Im forced to use mac´s at work but the only cool thing about them is the design the rest of them apple products is pretty worthless for " me ".
The only cool thing about it are those tools like candybar for example and im a little upset that SD didnt find a solution yet to also load these puppys with IP.

Thx for the reply Rolo. I read that it does not work without a Mac PC.

Well, i don't want a Mac or those functions i just want a WindowBlind skin, because i love the look of OS X

On a Mac i couldn't run all the stuff i need, you know.

I'm assuming you've seen tequila and NFR? These skins. I think those look better than OS X, and i appreciate keeping the min/max buttons on the right cause that's what I'm used to. I also like this one. And here is a good rainmeter config.

 

There's some rainmeter and objectbar skins for the taskbar you can look into as well. Hopefully something I said helps. If not, I would suggest installing the latest version of ubuntu. You can make that look EXACTLY like OS X, and it now supports the taskbar menus like OS X.

Ubuntu 11.04 (info)

Well, i tried to edit some part in SKS. I changed some parts from the Sabertooth WB. Now it looks a bit more like OS X! ....a bit 

@G3mpi3

Thx, i looked into it. The Rainmeter stuff is pretty interesting. Thx for your help.

Thx for your response, Vampothika 

This is the OS X Skin.

Those red, yellow, green buttons should be on the right side, because there will be some problems with the buttons on the left side in any programs (MS Office Suite for example)

I want buttons like a X for close and _ for minimize.... but without borders, you know, just the X and no 

Well, i want an old school skin, you know. A skin without any animations or transparency, like the windows classic scheme but with the look of OS X.

And the apple startbutton should be a black windows flag. So, i want a grey or maybe white skin with a blue mouse over button (see screenshot: Guest).

Well, Win7 would be enough for me. And yes, it should be a matt skin. I'll send you some details later this eve (german time), because i'm not at home for the rest of the day.

I'm so glad you do this, Vampothika. ...most appreciated!

Thank you so much

I have to agree with you, Uvah

 

So, now i'm on my way to look for some pics, to show you what i want.

Maybe I try to create some graphics with photoshop, would be easier to show you my wishes 

...and again, thank you so much
