Saturday, January 10, 2004 by Firedogs Ron Son Jose | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Question: Will WinCustomize work on Apple Computers and, if not, how come this has not been expanded to accomodate Apple Computers? Thanks!

Well, the whole deal with Stardock and Wincustomize is to customize Windows...
Hence WINdowblinds, and WINcustomize....
There may be similar programs for macs, or even have programs like it built in, but I don't know...

I don't really care for either anymore. I've gone through both the mac stage and the luna stage and now I just like having my desktop look like I want it to, not like some designer at microsoft or apple thinks it should look like.

wulfn: err, no I don't think you understand the idea of skinning. It's not about wanting a computer looking like a Mac or like Windows... It's about having the CHOICE of having it look like whatever you feel like. If I had a Mac, I'd look at whichever way to customize it like I want as well. Especially those dreadfull brushed metal windows *shivers*. I don't mind the Aqua look too much, at least for a week or two, but the metal look...

I like the metal look, paxx, much better than the "take-over-the-world" bliss wallpaper-and-blue/green-butterfly-msn-msft-anus look that you see...um...everywhere
but not sure if anyone noticed but OD IS the mac dock. period. dont take that as a rant tho, i'm just commenting on peoples comments I've heard about not wanting to make your PC look mac-like

Object Dock started as a Mac dock lookalike, but it's grown into much more and much better with the way you can skin it and make it look like whatever you want.
But, on the other hand, the new OS X folder browser IS a copy of the Windows Explorer. Konfabulator IS much like a small imitation of Desktop X. There are copies and imitations from both sides you know, and that's quite normal. That's how things evolve and improve.

you can NEVER be better than the original. OD might do more but I like OS X's dock better. IMO.
Not a Rant BTW.

Kona: Following your logic your bicycle is not better than the original bicycle? I think you will have to agree your statement was not thought through sufficiently. Not a rant either. Just an observation.

When you build your own computer, it's not a "PC" because PC manufacturers pay royalties to IBM to label their computers as PCs. Since your homebuilt computer is technically not a PC, does that mean it is worse than buying an already made system with the PC label?
