Anirudh, I m gonna try Ubuntu 7.10 in VM again just for this. The project looks nice , but still there are many inconsistencies in it, would be glad to help in making it more sexy...

Oh! & don't worry, Linux still sux for me

well if it sucks then why do use it?
better use a os which suits you more like windows vista
also i don't VM supports compiz-fusion

Vista is my Work OS, Ubuntu in VM with this is just for timepass

also i don't VM supports compiz-fusion

Yup, not supported, but is Compiz-fusion a must for this Mac4Lin project

 

[infra_red_dude]

Compiz Fusion is not must. There are alternatives provided to components of Mac4Lin which are dependent on CF but then they don't reflect the true Mac4Lin. The alternatives compromise a lot.

does mac4lin/compiz run in 256 mb DDR ram and intel gma 900?

does mac4lin/compiz run in 256 mb DDR ram and intel gma 900?

yes it will, but don't expect it to run super fast

 

[infra_red_dude]

Mac4Lin doesn't require exotic hardware!!! If Compiz Fusion runs fine on your PC then so will Mac4Lin.

Btw, contact Shashwat (Dark Star) for some tweaks. He runs Compiz Fusion on 256MB DDR on Intel 845 chipset onboard video and it runs fine for him

which means it is more close to leopard and for all ur haters who sent u mails saying y u emulating os x when they arent giving back to oss say that that is why u created it so that the 3rd reason why ppl why os x for its "just look at the UI" will also be killed leaving only mac hardware and mac specific apps as the remaining resonsfor ppl to buy a mac

we know it buddy.

@iMav
Yeah, stacks applet has been there since quite sometime now.

The reason why I created Mac4Lin is the same you mentioned. People drool over MacOS X UI. Underlying kernel has been heavily exposed. So people who want a more secure OS with extreme customization and a Mac like UI for free can get GNU/Linux with Mac4Lin. Of corz due to some limitations the UI won't be 100% Mac.

[infra_red_dude]

Yeah, I can't include the installation files. But I'll mention it in the next Mac4Lin documentation.

its under GPL i think

 

[iMav]

dont include it tis crap just giv a reference for those who want it

 

[gary4gar]

dont include it tis crap just giv a reference for those who want it

i though its because its some kind of license thats why

 

[infra_red_dude]

Yeah, thats the reason why I don't wanna include. Actually I even didn't wanna include Simdock (since its very buggy). But due to public demand I had to include it. For most, it doesn't work unless compiled.

 

[RCuber]

ANi I installed Awn manager.. it shows up in preferences but it does not start , what could be the reason?

 

[Kenshin]

Do a "Applications-->Accessories-->avant window navigator" once the dock appears u will be able to use the awn manager...I was also hvin same prob hehe

 

[RCuber]

^^ lol I forgot to start AWN .. my bad

Thanks

I suggest you also include Noia 2.0 eXtreme theme for firefox in your mac4lin. it goes well with mac firefox. or you can go for a safari firefox theme.
