I love apple

[vishal_bhatia87]

Is there is any freeware application that makes my windows xp UI looks like apple macs brushed aluminium look?

try 1 of those recommended sites from the object dock site.(IM not sure)

 

[vishal_bhatia87]

Object dock is not free It is a paid software

 

[theraven]

get the ibar brushed visual style !
use it with style xp or patch ur uxtheme file (free and best )

 

[vishal_bhatia87]

Is style XP free? Where I can get it.

 

[busyanuj]

no, styleXP is not a freeware, but you can download its trial version from here.

Although style xp trial is a option I would suggest using the uxtheme patcher & patching the dll once for all rather than using a application[not freeware,consumes resources].And above all the uxtheme patcher costs you zero bucks.Its FREE !

Please provide the link to uxtheme patcher

 

[mail2and]

just get Flyakite OsX

*osx.portraitofakite.com

Your link is not working for me

@digen
Are you sure It will convert the look to the Mac Brushed Aluminium

 

[vishal_bhatia87]

Is there is any other way? Any addon application like window blinds?

 

[Aijaz Akhtar]

Dump M$ and switch to Aple. Sure way to get the looks and functionality!!!!!

*osx.portraitofakite.com/ opens perfectly here...

eh?
Dude a uxtheme patcher is used to patch the uxtheme.dll in XP.Natively without patching that file you cant use other Visual Styles/Themes other than those provided by Microsoft.
Other software like style xp too does the same.
Let me quote from the link I provided earlier:

It patches the UXTheme.dll for Windows XP/SP1/SP2 Beta/RTM and 2003 and allows you to use un-signed custom visual styles.

So to use other visual styles you either can use the uxtheme patcher or get trial software like style xp which hog resources & cost money.
I hope I've made myself clear.Or else just ask
