Ok, I know that for some people XP looks doesn't matter and they are fine with it, so this is for all of you who like that OSX look on their XPs. And please Mac people don't hate us for this, we admire the look of OSX and would like to try to at least have something similar, so please no rude remarks.
I've decided to start a web site that will deal exclusively with how to customize your XPs to look 95% like OSX. Resources, news, articles and all the little helpers that help you achieve this. In my personal experience applying themes as I did, not only that don't consume additional computer resources, they actually make your Windows XP run smoother. People that built all these things are truly talented and I guess they made this to be even better optimized then Microsoft ever did. They deserve praise. Believe me when I say this (optimization topic), because a couple of other people experienced this as well.
If any of you stumbles upon some useful skins for utility applications or articles or anything relevant to this topic please contact me.
Here's where I am right now with the whole customization:
Thanks.

looks good, if you run an app like pshop will it have the customized look too?
how much time did you spend on it? I'm kinda lazy right now but it sure looks good

Sporty yes it does...actually everything looks pretty much themed. There are slight visual glitches here and there...but nothing to make you hate it. Well I helped Jox today to completely customize his XP and it took us around 2-3 hours. Keep in mind that I already had like all the icons, themes and everything, however he still needed to download certain things.

hey that looks amazing!
tho a question- is it fiddly? its nice to have an OS that runs how its suppposed to, rather then have it turned upside down to look like something its not? or is it a charm?
