I think the best way is to use DesktopX, windowblinds and iconpackager ect. I have tried to make my comp look like Mac OS X but have been unsucessfull in finding any decent themes to do it(the desktopX part).

I think this is because it would be impossible to make the zoomers for every single app that everyone has, and have continuity of any sort. Perhaps there would be a way to write a script to automaticly put any minimised app to the bottom of the screen, and have the script turn the programs icon into a simple zoomer, if you catch my drift.

I don't know if this is possible though as I am not a skinner yet

Sorry i couldn't be much help

Do any of those OSX threads point to a good WB skin for XP based on OSX? All the skins I've seen either look nothing like OSX or look like OSK, but don't have XP support. I'd love to see a good OSXP skin.

Thanks, Chris. I tried that one, but the XP stuff doesn't look very good at all. The colors are all wrong, and the round buttons are not real round. I'm not sure I ever got as far as trying an actual window, but judging by the screenshot, that part looks good. Unfortunately, it looks like the XP stuff was cut and pasted from another skin (or vice versa).
