Macos X for windows 7  .

Macos X is a Mac OS X port for WIndows 7, made by idas = ZEUS osX. (Pavlos Pitselas).

Macos (1)word meaning :  'mecos'= length in ancient Athenian also Ionian language and in Byzantine and in nowdays Greek, and 'macos' in doric and aeolian ancient greek dialects and in nowdays tsaconian= spartan dialect that still speaken in some villages in southeastern Pelloponese[south Greece], where is my hometown, and also in Ancient Greek Macedonian and Aeolian Thessalian dialects.

Macos X IS not just a theme. With new code added to Windows system files , Windows becomes behaving like Mac OS X .

When foristance we select a folder as 'icon', we have separate mouse over image for the folder  and other image for the text.

When we select a folder as 'details' we can have stripes, and mouse over images like mac os X , blue hover and white text .

Main categories of visual styles: Transparent, Brushed, Gray.

Subcategories: I have also added some styles, to any of the first categories, with always opened folderband and addressbar, and no button to the top right edge of the window.



Also to this screenshot i use The Ave's application [still beta] ,  CloseButtonChanger http://vistastylebuilder.com/forum/index.php?topic=706.0   which makes the buttons more close.

My work is based on the spirit of os X, and not a copy of it.

Many images are designed in a similar but not same way with original os X.

I use font bold style in many places that original os X use regular font style.

I made this project to work only to 96 dpi font size.

For this project i have spent thousands of hours, and perchaps it is first time in the history of Windows, that without any 3rd party programm or explorer replacement, we have a so much close to mac os X style approaching.

The theme will have some limitations in use, as i have not enough time to complete in the way i want, as i am too tired.

MAIN  LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF USING

1. do not change border padings.

2. do not change font size (leave it 96 dpi font size).

3. taskbar must be resized every time we log in, if we want 'small icons' in it, as Windows 7 internal code streched it to bigger dimentions.

4. for close distance between close,min,max buttons Ave's application [still beta] ,  Close Button Changer  needed.

5. for adding shadows effect around your Windows, needed the freeware controlable application YzShadow.

Special thanks to Panda X , DM-moinmoin , Patrickgs , and and Yoni (Rafael Rodriguez) .

Thanks to Ave for amazing Windows Style Builder,  remaining also for the final realease of Close Button Changer!

Upload will come this or next week. [32 bit  and 64 bit system files will included, or will uploaded  separately because of the size in mb]

All features referenced in my work are subject to change.

I do not allow modifications of my work.

Thank you All of you, for your support.

Made in H E L L A S (= Greece ).

Inspired by Zeus.

i also added more clear instructions for the 64bit system:

for the 64 bit version SYstem files replacement :

You must  copy ExplorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, shell32.dll from the 64 bit pack to C:\Windows\System32 and and explorer to C:\Windows .

 and NOW please Download my 32 BIT version from  http://zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/Macos-X-...32bit-154709485  , open the foler 32 bit Dll files, copy and replace the files that existed to c:\windows\syswow64  of your 64bit system.

I HAVE ADDED THIS to my Deviants Art page Instructions for the 64 bit theme.
