Dear List:
Recently I had a request from a customer looking for software which gives the Mac GUI the Windows look. If such software does exist, where would be the best place to find it? Is it available for OS X and pre-OS X environments?
On OS X, a theme toolkit just came out called ThemePark <http://www.geekspiff.com/software/themepark/> that could help you make one. Duality lets you use them <http://conundrumsoft.com/newduality/> ON the screenshot there's Windows XP listed in the dropdown list of themes
You *might* find a Kaleidoscope theme that makes it sort kinda look like Windows on OS 9, but the GUI is still a Mac.
Like all those folks who whipped out Aqua-ish skins for their KDE boxes and proclaimed they had the Mac OS running on Linux, they just don't get it. What it looks like is NOT how it acts.
You might get it to look like Windows, but Windows and the Mac do things considerably differently, and will regardless of what the Windows and menus look like.
If you want Windows get VPC or a PC. Otherwise your client's going to be disappointed.
