Description For all those who have asked repeatedly for my OB, herewith an enhanced release of the Leopard theme.

THIS VERSION INCLUDES AveForceQuit and iShut both with Leopard Skins built into the Apple menu

Download here: [link]

I have built in a few more features and made the dropdowns 95% accurate - when compared to the Leopard information displayed by the MenuBar on my Mac

This version contains the vbs file already built into the spotlight for Landvermesser's MacSearch application (available here [link] ), it also includes d-bug's AboutMac, an AboutFinder box and a pseudo Finder Preferences application.

Please download BOTH zip files and install as per the individual ReadMe files contained within each zip file.

Part One: Contains contains the OB theme, please install the fonts and install the theme into your ObjectBar directory

Part Two: Contains the other elements needed for the theme. NB Please install the contents of this zip into your C:\Program Files directory.

This mod was compiled using OB 1.6 and tested under WinXP - I'm not sure if it will work under OB2

Please note, this theme is NOT intended to be a fully functional version of the Mac MenuBar, it features some pseudo elements (battery meter, sync etc.), much like the original TigerBar had - no more, no less.

Its intended to share some of the Leopard items we enjoy using the Mac with those users unable to do so.

Many thanks to Apple, Pete Ross, Magbi9, d-bug, AndreasV and beric / jed717ph

It's the best OB around...and I think the world, after my endless exploring before I met your work......so well done mate, and thank you for your effort and generosity.

Btw I have 1 question, since I can't figured out how to install all your font (i'm using macbook intel)...so I change the taskbar successfully with Myriad font (based on your tutorial answering other)... What I wanna ask, is there a way to change the bar font, bar font size or even the size of the bar itself? That's it...

Again thank you and keep up your wonderful work and generosity...

Hey man! Thank you so much for this ObjectBar!
It totally kicks ass!

In some of your shots you have a bar thats transparent, and im wondering is that transparent bar this leopard bar?

If so... would i be able to get the .psd file or is that too much to ask?

(all i want is transparency)

Cheers mate!

Neither Leopard nor Snow Leopard have rounded corners that's why they are not there!

RaatsGui In reply to Ollidolli [2009-07-17 06:01:16 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the kind words..

If you installed all the elements as per the readme then it might be a problem with running a vbs file.

For some reason (and nobody can work out why), some Win machines refuse to run a simple vbs app. People a lot smarter than myself have also tried to figure out what the problem is, but as far as I know, there has never been a satisfactory answer as to why this happens.

It IS rare though, so I would suggest you go thru and make sure everything is reinstalled in the directories specified in the readme and try again.

Good luck

Thanks for your reply, i did what you said but it didnt work. I just downloaded another .vbs Spotlight file and changed the "directory" of it and it worked great...

Keep up the good work

I have ObjectBar plus.
With that said, I just got it for this specific skin, because my friend and I are having a contest on who can make the best Mac vs. PC emulations. [One moniter is mac style, the other Windows 7.]
I downloaded everything according to the Read Mes, but still don't know how to get it to import the theme. :S

RaatsGui In reply to RazielWarmonic [2009-06-18 02:18:51 +0000 UTC]

Sorry mate, I don't know how OB plus works.
I'm no longer developing for emulation but I suggest you go over to Aquasoft [link] and look for comments there.

Good luck

Cheers mate... You can disable any of the options by right clicking on the icon and reading the preferences..

Thanks for the quick reply, but I can't find any bars or features having to do with Explorer or the address bar. Do you what the name of the bar or feature is?

RaatsGui In reply to Morzha [2009-05-25 01:59:36 +0000 UTC]

Sorry for the slow response mate. I needed to find a PC so I could try and find what you are looking for.

I have only checked this on OB 1.6 so there might be other options if you are using OB 2.

In OB 1.6, right click on an icon in the menubar and open the OB 'roperties'
Right click the Theme editor window and Select 'General Options'
Under 'Extra Feature Options' make sure you have checked the following boxes:
"Hide menus of applications when a replaceable selection is present"
"...and hide movable menus from Explorer and IE windows.
Apply
Save theme

Hope this helps....

Assuming you have installed ObjectBar, you need to install my theme into your OB directory (Typically: Crogram Files/Stardock/Object Desktop/Objectbar)

Load the theme by double clicking on the [filename].obtheme file

THANKS!!! This looks so good. I got all the fonts and got the right icons. Is there anyway you can make that the battery and volume buttons are functional? If not its fine because it looks so good already

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

RaatsGui In reply to ryaniss0beast [2009-01-26 02:30:28 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately no. A limitation of OB is that those icons cannot be made to be functional.

Its a pity but a limitation of the program.

Thanks for your kind words!

ryaniss0beast In reply to RaatsGui [2009-01-26 02:58:21 +0000 UTC]

okay, haha one last problem. I installed macsearch into ob using one of your tutorials but now when i click the magnifying glass there are two things on the side that say spotlight in different fonts. They overlap eachother so its hard to see the word spotlight. This is very picky but if you know how to fix, that would be great thanks

RaatsGui In reply to ryaniss0beast [2009-01-26 05:46:50 +0000 UTC]

If you are using my ob enhanced theme, you don't need to add another Macsearch app, because its already there.

wait nvm i got it!!!
but only one problem. The tab that shows the active program whether its desktop or whatever, its not in the correct font and not bolded. Anway to fix this? Also is there anyway to delete some of the items such as time machine and spaces from the taskbar. Great work btw

RaatsGui In reply to ryaniss0beast [2009-01-25 04:09:59 +0000 UTC]

Have you placed the supplied fonts into your Windows Fonts directory?

To remove items, right click on the icon and select 'remove'

Thanks, im not kidding thanks to your theme my computer looks like a mac in every way, check out my screenshot, and i even bought a apple keyboard and mouse.

But one last question, when i click on the Desk Shade icon it doesn't work and my computer comes up with an error. Trayserver has stopped working, do you now how i can get it working again because i use it allot.

Im probably starting to annoy you with all my questions, but i have to ask or ill never get it working or never no.

Thank you for your time!!!!!
