Get Lucida Grande. It's Apple's default system font.

Edit: those damn page breaks…

Ok, heres how to do it:


You will need:

Buy or Download WindowBlinds 5 (or above)
The OSX Tiger Beta skin
Rocket Dock
Some time, and knoledge of editing the Windows Registery to remove the Trashcan icon on desktop and stop stuff from appearing on the "Taskbar"which is at the top

Ok, here we go:

First, install WindowBlinds. I dont care how you got it, but just get it and install it.

Second, download the OSX Tiger skin, and dowble click to install it into WindowBlinds. You will now see a completly new look.

Third, right click on your taskbar, and uncheck "Lock the Taskbar" Now drag it to the top of your desktop, so it looks like an Apple. Now right click, and Select "Lock the Taskbar"

Fourth, Install RocketDock. Set it so it loads when you first start up. I used the ToonBlue Theme, its the best to resemble OS X.

Fifth, remove the Recycle bin from the desktop by following the guide located: Here

Sixth, now remove items from appearing on the "Taskbar" Actually, i forget how i did it :roll: Just search Google.

Seventh, just goto Mac e and find all the applications, icons, etc. to make your PC look like a Mac even more.

Enjoy :D

Mac E -Download the Tiger Beta skin here, aswell as other programs that make your PC look and feel like a Mac.

Yeah... Actually, for me, that's really good. One time, I filled up BOTH screens! But to make you happy, here's mine right now.

It's cleaned up, and it has a new background that I made. It's level 1-1 for Super Mario Bros. (If anyone wants it, and has two screens, just ask!)

Well I don't have two screens, but what's the resolution? (I'd like a copy regardless)

Thanks! :D

I'm asking, as I have 2 screens and nothing to fill them in a continuous way with. I have a 1280x1024 19" Norcent lcd and a 2048x1536 21" (I think) IBM lcd.
Shhh! I'm not officially back yet.
