FlyakiteOSX 3 finally released
Wednesday, January 18, 2006 by Diafragma | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
FlyakiteOSX is a transformation pack. It will transform the look of an ordinary WinXP+ system to resemble the look of Mac OS X. The installer automates the process of replacing ystem files, applying registry tweaks, skins, and extras such as cursors, sounds, visual styles, etc. In case you are not happy with the results of FlyakiteOSX, everything is completely removable. Just run the unintaller from the Star Menu or from the Add/Remove Programs. I have been using it since the first version without any problems.

I had a chance to check this out. Had a few problems. It seems to have messed up Windows Movie Maker. When I run this app now (not hat I ever use it) it gives me a "movie effects file missing" error. This may or may not have been the issue prior to install, not sure because I never run it. After exploring it a little I decided to unistall, after which I could not use any WindowBlinds theme. Applying a new skin ended me with a classic windows skin with the colors of the theme I tried to apply. A system restore took care of that. The spotlight style search never returned any results, and I did configure the firewall to allow. Outside of those few little things the install, ease of use and unistall options were simple amazing. It is quite obvious the authors worked really hard to put this together. I have never seen a theme do the things this one does, and so well. Oh yeah, it would not allow me to switch the theme. I was stuck with the default OSX white/blue. If it wasn't for that, this would have stayed on my machine. I did keep the iTunes package.
I just checked out Movie Maker, and it's fine now. Must be something in the package

Gr@ff!X, the reason why you were stuck with the default OSX white/blue is because it is a visual style, so in order to switch back to WB you need to first apply the default windows skin and from there apply a WB skin. That is how visual styles work and always have. Regarding the Windows Movie Maker, I have never used that program before but when looking for it at my all programs menu I couldn't locate and .exe to run it so you may have a point there.

Diafragma, I will do that, I reinstalled, just too many goodies not to play with. Movie Maker error is "the file for video transistions and effects is missing". And I specifically told the installer to NOT apply the MM skin. When I type into the searchspy when clicking the app from the tray icon and hit enter, nothing happens. But I think I might not be using it correctly, gotta look into that further. But, for the most part this is one hell of a package. The unistall I did the first time was clean. A couple of icons wouldn't let go, but a cache rebuild fixed that no problem. I think doing a system restore was a bit premature on my part. The authors did a fine job here. So, how do I use the searchspy and what do I use it for? I've never used a MAC. Anyway, I'll report what I find and thanks again for the link.

I just read that the searchspy is not workig properly due to the author submitting a newer version without testing it at the last minute which had alot or bugs and now he's on vacation so don't use it until the older working version is updated on the next update which will be in a week or so from today

A new version of iTunes came out, 6.0.2 I think it was. When you install it, it removes the mod.

Everytime you install a new version of iTunes you need to reapply/reinstall the multiplugin for iTunes just to be on the safe side. I'll tell you I wouldnt be able to use iTunes w/o the multiplugin patch anymore. There are alot of great skins made for iTunes thanks to this patch.

Hey Diafragma, I reinstalled the plug-in but it's not running iTunes with the plug-in. In the iTunes folder there is a file called MPlugin.dll, and a couple new folders. But, it's not working.

The way you know if the multiplugin is running correcty is when you start iTunes then click edit/preferences and the last tab should be the multiplugin tab. Once you click on it it should give you an appearance tab see if you can change the skin, if not then uninstall the plug in and then itunes and install again. I had multiplugin running before Flyakite so I didnt have to install it again... You can find some great skin at Deviantart...
