Requirements

• Window Blinds (skins the Graphical User Interface of your operating system)

• Object Desktop (The dock on the bottom of a Mac that contains icons and shortcuts to programs)

• Icon Packager (Manages your icons)

• Logon Studio (Manages the logon screens)

• Yahoo widgets (Desktop widgets like the dashboard)

• The MacXp pack (Not my creation but a collection of really good stuff on the net - Includes logon studio logon, window blinds theme, object desktop dock background , yahoo widgets which resemble the dashboard on the Mac and the icon packager icons pack uploaded by me)
• Ipod Dp widget for yahoo widgets
• The browser in the below image is firefox and the theme needed is here and you will need this plugin to go along with it.
• There is a theme for itunes too but you will need to download itunes with the patch here

That's pretty much what you'll want for starters. You don't need all of these, and in fact, you really only need a few to get a reasonably good looking OS X facsimile, but if you're going to do this you might as well do it right.

We assume that you have either downloaded/purchased the programs listed and that you know your way around a computer, at least to a reasonable extent.

Instructions

• Install all the programs afore mentioned and download the MacXp pack.
• Now install the theme i have provided in the macxp pack with Windowblinds.
• Then customize your Objectdock and use the background provided.
• Add the icon pack provided with Iconpackager.
• Now for the logon screen provided.
• Customize your Yahoo widgets as you like and you can also try what i've provided

The result:

So that's pretty much all there is to it. Good luck!

Hierfür verwende ich den RK Launcher (Homepage) . Dieses Programm ist in dem Pack der ersten Anleitung schon vorhanden. Die aktuellste Version man auf der Homepage http://home.cogeco.ca/~rklauncher/ .

In dieser Anleitung nehmen wir die erst genannte Quelle.

Hat man die Datei "RK_Launcher_041_Beta_Nightly.exe" entpackt (siehe unten) öffnet man es sogleich.

Sofort schiebt sich das Dock unten hoch. Man kann hier auf dem Bild sehen, dass ich das Dock schon mit zusätzlichen Verknüpfungen (Skype, Safari, Twirl ...) belegt habe. Leider sehen Firefox und Thunderbird bei der Vergrößerung etwas klötzchenartig aus. Egal.

RK Laucher auf Deutsch:

- Patch hier runterladen : German Translation - rkl_german.zip

-Entpacken und Datei "rkl_german.lang"  in den Ordner "...\RK_Launcher_041_Beta_Nightly\lang"  einfügen

-So , per Rechtsklick ins Menü kommen und unter "Language" die Sprache wechseln:

-RK Launcher (neu)starten

-----------------------------------------------

-Im Menü "Einstellungen" auswählen

-Unter den "Dock Einstellungen" bei "Dock Kontrolle" einen Häckchen hinter "Mit Windows starten" setzen.

_ "OK"

Und Fertig ist das Ganze. :-)

Nächstes Mal: "Das Mac Theme"
