Note: Most of the following themes, skins and applications are for Windows XP, but they will also work on Windows Vista and Windows 7.
PART 1
VISUAL STYLER
For Mac OS X Leopard Theme on Windows, you have two options:
1. Mac OS X Visual Styler and True Transparency
2. WindowBlinds 7 (Recommended)
Mac OS X Visual Styler and True Transparency
For Windows XP:
For applying Mac OS X Theme through Visual Styler and True Transparency on Windows XP, you will be needed:
True Transparency with Mac OS X Leopard Theme running on Windows XP
Instructions:
- Run UXTheme Patcher before applying Mac OS X Leopard Visual Styler Theme, otherwise, the theme will not be installed. During patching, Windows XP may require XP Installation CD, DO NOT INSERT THE XP INSTALLATION CD, OTHERWISE, THE UXTHEME PATCHER WILL FAIL TO PATCH.
- Restart your computer
- Now unzip the Mac OS X Leopard Visual Styler Theme folder and copy the folder to “C:\Windows\Resources\Themes” (the default folder for VS); and
- Then apply Mac visual styler
- Now unzip the downloaded True Transparency folder to “C:\Program Files” folder, and then run True Transparency
- Now unzip the downloaded Mac OS X Skin for True Transparency folder and copy it to “C:\Program Files\(True Transparency folder)\skin” folder

For Windows 7:

-
-
- Instructions are inside the zipped folders.
WindowBlinds 7 (Recommended)
WindowBlinds 7 is a third party freeware for applying Mac OS X theme and other interesting themes on XP. MSStyler Theme is not a perfect match of Mac Leopard, many of the visual features are missing, for e.g., the close, minimize and restore buttons are given on right hand side of title bar, instead of left hand side; menus and taskbar are not transparent; etc. WindowBlinds gives you almost a 100% result in changing the looks of windows to Mac OS X Leopard. Besides this, you can also add transparency effects to your windows and change the colors of the windows (only in full version). And most important, you don’t have to play with your Windows XP/7’s original files.
For applying Mac theme on XP/7 through WindowBlinds, you will be needed:
WindowBlinds 7 with Mac OS X Leopard Theme running on Windows XP
Instructions:
- Install WindowBlinds first, and
- Then install Mac OS X Leopard WB Theme.
FINDER FOR WINDOWS
For Windows XP:
Windows Explorer looks like Mac OS X Leopard Finder
Let’s take a look at Finder first. What Finder is? Finder is a Windows Explorer like application for Mac. It has a toolbar and a search bar. A slim menu bar is always appeared on the desktop, whether the Window is opened or not. To see which version of Finder you are using, click Finder and then click About Finder.
In the left hand side of the Finder (Window), you will see shortcuts to different places on your computer, for e.g., Macintosh HD (Local Disk), iDisk (Second Hard Disk), Documents, Applications (Programs), etc.
To give the look of Mac’s Finder to Windows Explorer, you will be needed:
Styler Toolbar
Mac OS X Leopard Toolbar
Mac OS X Leopard Inspired Toolbar
Mac OS X MobileME Toolbar
Findexer
Instructions:
- Install Styler Toolbar
- Now unzip the downloaded Mac OS X Leopard’s Finder Toolbar Skin for Styler, and copy the folder to “C:\Program Files\Styler\TB\skins\Styler’s” folder
- Now run Styler from Start Menu and apply the Leopard theme in Toolbar tab
- Check Hide Menu Bar (Explorer)
- Now install Findexer (as per the instructions given in the downloaded compressed folder), and then restart Windows to see the changes
- Now unzip the Mac OS X Leopard Findexer Icons + Installation Instructions and follow the instructions for changing icons, fonts and colors of Findexer, in order to make it look like Mac OS X Leopard.
FINDER PREFERENCES
You can get the Mac OS X Finder Preferences clone on Windows XP / 7. Although it's not functional but will give you can exact look of the original.
Instructions:
Unzip the folder and copy the unzipped folder "Menu Bar" to C:\Program Files;
You can create a shortcut in the Findexer's left side pane of the Explorer or anywhere else you want.
FINDER MENU BAR
There are many software that provides Finder Menu Bar for Windows XP and Windows 7, but I found this one most suitable one for my computer:
Note:
Finder Menu Bar will replace your Taskbar, you will not be able to switch between different windows in the way as you usually do in Microsoft Windows. For switching between different windows, click Windows to see different windows in the list, or use Alt-Tab button on your keyboard.
If you want to access your Start Menu while using Finder Menu Bar, just click Window logo button on your keyboard.
MAC OS X DIALOGS AND INTEGRATED ICONS (LEOPARD MODS FOR WINDOWS)
For Windows XP:
To change overall looks of Windows XP icons and dialogs to that of Mac OS X, you will be needed to replace the following patched files with the original files:
By replacing these patched files with the existing original XP files, the entire OS environment is changed, namely, folder icons, program icons, my computer icon, network neighborhood icon, right click taskbar properties, about windows dialog, copying/moving/deleting progress animations, replacing dialogs, etc.
But BE CAREFUL, MAKE SURE THAT YOU HAVE BACKUP ALL THE ORIGINAL FILES IN A SAFE PLACE ON HARD DRIVE BEFORE REPLACING. To replace these patched files with the original ones you will be required to download Replacer and Windows File Protection Switcher.
Instructions:
1. 1. Run WFP Switcher. Window may give file protection error, ignore it. DO NOT INSERT YOUR ORIGINAL XP CD, OTHERWISE, WFP SWITCHING CANNOT BE EXECUTED. After finishing with WFP Switch, restart your computer.
2. 2. Replace the following Patched Files with the originals using Replacer:
"mydocs.dll", “shell32.dll”, “msgina.dll” and “xpsp2res.dll”
I. Run Replacer, a command prompt window will be open;
II. Drag and drop your original "*.dll" from "C:\Windows\system32" folder on Replacer's open window and press enter;
III. Then drag and drop patched "*.dll" on Replacer open window and press enter;
IV. Replacer will ask you whether to replace the file. Press Y and enter;
V. Replacer will take a few second and your file will be replaced.
"explorer.exe"
I. Close all the running applications on Windows;
II. Right click taskbar and click Task Manager;
III. Click Processes, then right click "explorer.exe" and click End Process. All the icons and taskbar and even sidebar will be gone;
IV. Now click File in Task Manager and click New Process;
V. Click Browse;
VI. Now go to the folder where the patched "explorer.exe" is located and copy it to "C:\Windows" folder. Windows will ask you whether to replace the existing file. Click Yes. Thus in this way, you can easily replace patched "explorer.exe" with the original "explorer.exe" without even using Replacer. Make sure that "explorer.exe" is not running, otherwise, it will not be replaced;
VII. Now restart your computer;
VIII. You may notice that some icons have changed to Vista icons and some do not. Create a new user account in Control Panel => User Accounts. Logoff your present User Account and then Logon the newly created User Account. You will notice that all the old-looking XP icons have been change to Vista icons.
“*.cpl”
I. Run Replacer, a command prompt window will be open;
II. Drag and drop your original "*.cpl" from "C:\Windows\system32" folder on Replacer's open window and press enter;
III. Then drag and drop patched "*.cpl" on Replacer open window and press enter;
IV. Replacer will ask you whether to replace the file. Press Y and enter;
V. Replacer will take a few second and your file will be replaced.
For Windows 7:
To change overall looks of Windows 7 icons and dialogs to that of Mac OS X, you will be needed to replace the patched files zipped in a folder with the original Windows 7 files.
ALTERNATIVE MAC NAMES FOR WINDOWS FOLDERS
Rename the following to match with Mac OS X:
My Computer = Owner’s Name or Computer’s Name
-
-
-
-
Local Disk (C:\) = Macintosh HD
Other Local Disk (D:\) = iDisk
-
DO NOT RENAME THE MAIN SYSTEM FOLDERS, i.e., WINDOWS, PROGRAM FILES and DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS, OTHERWISE YOUR SYSTEM WILL NOT RUN.
DOCK
The dock is your shortcut bin where you can get to the programs you use most often. It also shows icons of all the programs you are running. It is a very important and perhaps the most powerful thing for a Mac user. It works like Taskbar for Mac. For more information on Mac Dock basics, click here.
In Windows XP/7, a Mac like Dock can be installed, which will perform all the basic functions of a Mac Dock. For installing Dock on XP/7, you have two options:
Stardock’s ObjectDock
RocketDock (Recommended)
Stardock’s ObjectDock
Stardock’s ObjectDock is a freeware. Some of the features are disabled in Free Version, and it has a trial period of only 30 days. Besides this, it utilizes your computer resources more than RocketDock. Although it has more features and functions than RocketDock.

RocketDock (Recommended)
Although the Stardock’s ObjectDock is of a high-quality application, but some of its features are disabled and it also takes too much of your computer memory. On the other hand, RocketDock is a software which is 100% free to install, and which does not take too much of your computer’s RAM.

If you have already replaced the patched files with the original files, i.e., “mydocs.dll”, “shell32.dll”, and “explorer.exe”, you don’t have to install icons for system folders and files. However, certain programs’ icons can be changed, for example:
Windows Movie Maker = iMovie icon
ACDSee / Picasa = iPhoto icon
Notepad / WordPad = Text Edit icon
Windows’ native Address Book (could be found in Accessories) = Address Book icon
Command Prompt = Command Prompt icon
Control Panel = System Preferences icon, etc.
All these icons are included in this compressed folder.

It is a light weighted media player as compared to iTunes. It can play a number of formats of digital video and audio and images. The Pro Version of QuickTime captures video and converts different media into a variety of formats. Both iTunes and QuickTime Player are must, if you are a big fan of Mac OS X.

- 1 GB RAM;
- 128 MB Graphic Card Memory; and

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
Since some application files might have been "patched" or "compressed" (packed) to work properly on your XP system, therefore, some "false alarm" or "false positive" may happen to some clean *.exe installers/applications /installation processes, although they are actually CLEAN & SAFE and does not pose a threat to your system. The term "false positive" is used when an Anti-Virus Software wrongly classifies an innocuous (inoffensive) file as a Virus. This incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in the database of Anti-Virus. Usually some great and famous Anti-Viruses (such as Kaspersky, AVG, Norman, McAfee, etc) won't have such problem so far. If that happens to you, then simply ignore it and continue installing as it's guaranteed actually 100% safe and clean by me and other guys who are posting these applications. But again, it's still your own choice and right to decide.
thanx for visiting hope you enjoy dont forget to comment
