ZEUS os X : F OS is based in the spirit of Apple, not a kind of copy.

ZEUS os X : F OS is ONLY for private use.

I am working to this from November 2006(with windows vista rc1 first, and vista rtm after) UP to now December 2008.

There are 2 main categories of the visual styles i made.
The first categorie is for using them on Aero mode, and the second is for using only on Aero Basic mode.
The reason is because the windows system change the dimentions of an mstyle.
Also  there are some subcategories in each one of those 2 categories.
In some of the visual styles i made [to those with  letter X at the end of their title], i have added on the place of the adreessband, a kind of buttons that on native are only glyphs, only images with not any propertie on them.

The reason for made this kind of visual styles having designed buttons without functionality, is that if someone makes an application which could set windows vista commands to the place of the address bar, as i have described and asked for, because on normal microsoft visual style there is no space, what i did is ''realeased'' space, for enabling exist that application, by removing the adressbar ''propertie'' to the right size of the window, then we will have a kind of fuctionality to them.
See the specification i made and asked from anyone could make this kind of application  http://windowsedge.com/imageuploads/pics/916337457d7e56de1cf4158c96ede06b.jpg
The idea of me was if with only 1 or 2 clik of the mouse the user could control a window's area, and not as now, who has to open  several menus.
This added designed buttons has problem onInternet explorer as they leave little space for the web adresses on adressbar. But on pack included visual styles also with not this added buttons.

description in general for the visual styles:

no horiziontal line on the down size of navigation pane [little up from where explorer ' Folders ' exist
internal borders on navigation pane and on the main right surface of the window
new redesigned style of butons (browseui.dll + image elements redesigned on mac style see forexample search
