This is a Work from Hellas = Greece.
Is dedicated to All people of Earth who support : the Hellenic = Greek History, Philoshophy, Civilization and the Greek people.

********

Mac OS X style system behaviour with not 3rd party program .

Macos X is a Mac OS X port for WIndows 7, made by idas = ZEUS osX. (Pavlos Pitselas).


Macos X for windows 7 is MADE IN GREECE (= Hellas).


Macos (1)word meaning : 'mecos'= length in ancient Athenian also Ionian language and in Byzantine and in nowdays Greek, and 'macos' in doric and aeolian ancient greek dialects and in nowdays tsaconian= spartan dialect that still speaken in some villages in southeastern Pelloponese[south Greece], where is my hometown, and also in Ancient Greek Macedonian and Aeolian Thessalian dialects.
On screenshot , down window there exist some of a portrait of Alexander the Great(=Alexandros) who unified all Hellenes=Greeks ie (Peloponisians , Thessalians , Macedonians, Athenians, Cretans etc ].

IN ancient and in nowdays Hellenic (=Greek) [Active CODE] language, every letter, and every word is a specific number, and it has a specific meaning.
ZEUS ( or DEUS or DIAS) is Master of immortal Gods in Hellenic (=Greek) Active CODE [arithmetic machine logic] language, and APPLE is the given gift from ZEUS .

So the name of the THEME choosen from Hellenic = GREEK language and civilization.

-------------------------------

Macos X IS not just a theme. With new code added to Windows system files , Windows becomes behaving like Mac OS X .

When forinstance we select a folder as 'icon', we have separate mouse over image for the folder and other image for the text.

When we select a folder as 'details' we can have stripes, and mouse over images like mac os X , blue hover and white text .

Main categories of visual styles: Transparent, Brushed, Gray.

Names and styles of Themes:
Dion,- 4 versions ---> transparent
Alexander, - 4 --> brushed
Leopard - 4 --> gray

in each style that has number I (FOR EXAMPLE : 24 Dion I ) --> no visible folderband, and no addressbar image, and a designed button at the corner of titlebar.

in each style that has number II (FOR EXAMPLE : 24 Dion II ) --> no visible folderband, BUT with addressbar image,and NO designed button at the corner of titlebar.

in each style that has number III (FOR EXAMPLE : 24 Dion III) --> Visible folderband, and with addressbar image in eand NO designed button at the corner of titlebar.

each style that has number IIII (FOR EXAMPLE : 24 Dion IIII ) --> no visible folderband, and no addressbar image, BUT IT HAS some pseudo buttons in the place of addressbar so to look like MAC Finder, though its only design, without fuctionality as also the designed button at the corner of titlebar.

Also i use The Ave's application [still beta] , CloseButtonChanger which makes the close,max,min buttons more close.

My work is based on the spirit of os X, and not a copy of it.

Many images are designed in a similar but not same way with original os X.

I use font bold style in many places that original os X use regular font style.

I made this project to work only to 96 dpi font size.

For this project i have spent thousands of hours, and perchaps it is first time in the history of Windows, that without any 3rd party programm or explorer replacement, we have a so much close to mac os X style approaching.

The theme will have some limitations in use, as i have not enough time to complete in the way i want, as i am too tired.

MAIN LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF USING

1. Be sure that in Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Display the Smaller - 100% categorie is checked . if there is not, check Smaller - 100% and restart.
Also do not change font size (leave it 96 dpi font size).

2. do not change border padings.

3. in the new themes there is no any taskbar problem.

4. for close distance between close,min,max buttons Ave's application [still beta] , CloseButtonChanger needed.

5. for adding shadows effect around your Windows, needed the freeware controlable application YzShadow.

first try to reinstall your audio and video drivers, restart.
if this does not work:
--
even me which i have done this proccess thousand of times i have problem to this:
because i have done a clean installation of windows 7, to my laptop [its original os was xp, then i bought vista, then 7] , so the right proccess for not having problem,[not because of the code i have added, but] because of the replacing of the system files is this :
we install windows 7 to our pc, then we install all drivers and microsoft updates, then we set the kind of our system works, forexample we set the status of Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options to Higher options,
then we do restore point [very important],
then we replace the system files,
do restore point again [very important],
finally we install any aplication, antivirus etc we want.

So a friend has taken his laptop to me for installing my theme to his machine.
because i am very sure about what i do i did not make restore points and that was a huge mistake of me.
the reason.
on preinstalled windows 7 systems that the manufacture of the pc has installed windows and also some special manufacture's applications, made the registry and the system behavies different.
Also the antivirus did a lot of problems, what an awfull day, so what we did was, we save to a data partition everything we want [to a dvd its a better option], then there was a manufacture's program of rewritting the system from 0.

so i did, i wrotte windows 7, i take all updates and drivers then i tried to writte my theme. [no other applications. no antivirus programs, no registry programs, nothing, ok?]

Now its impotant to do this : do a restore point.

also important to do this : Go to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts and press the folder 'Change User Account Control Settings' set the slider to the next window Never Notify. [this is very important as if you dont sometimes the installation of system files failed]

now we take ownership of all system files[described].

then we save them to a safe folder as a second line backup[first line is the restore point]

now download my Macos X for Windows 7 style version is for your system [for example the 32 bit].

then follow my instructions, about the replacement [= not delete, rename the original and copy the new ones] system files.

after you do that, copy cursors file , sounds and themes to the right location.

then install ucx style core application. ok?

then restart, you right clik on desktop personalize, and if you have done all well you see the themes there, then you select one, ok?

then again go to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts and press the folder 'Change User Account Control Settings' set the slider to the next window to Default or to whatever u like, then restart

Now make a New restore point. you can save also do this to a dvd backup so everytime you want to restore, to restore at this point for not doing all this work since this point, ok?

Now you write any application, antivirus or manufactures application specialized for your pc, or any registry programs etc

----

its very important the things to be like that, because if not its possible the system to have problems,
To my system which i have a 'clean' installation of original Windows 7, i have not since now, any problem with any application.
the system works perfect, and my machine aN Acer 5024 is an old one.

So i believe that the problems made by the applications have installed to our systems in connection with the registry, with the antivirus programs we use[and the kind of them] and of the manufacturers applications also in connection with the registry.
Those things has nothing to do with my new code, i believe it has to do with the replacement of the system files and how the system 'see' the previous and the next system files we put.

so i can not help u more. my only result was that to a clean installation, with only microsoft updates and latest drivers installed, i had NO PROBLEM, as i described.

ZEUSosX In reply to DzaDze [2010-03-09 14:34:59 +0000 UTC]

because of aero blur effect.
leopard style visual styles, have only 1 pixel side borders of the window.

now i describe how to eliminate as possible, this.
1. the ease way.
right clik to your desktop , personalize, select window color and set the sliders as you see in screenshot [link]
Also you can 'play' with the sliders, depending the background u have, for personalize it better.

if you have instal YzShadow freeware applying shadows program[see in my instructions and tips text here in this deviant page, -3. ADDING SHadows effect around your Window, and also MAKING SOME APPLICATION WHICH DOES NOT START WITH THE START OF WINDOWS, ENABLE TO START ], it will appear a shortcut of it to your taskbar, right click to shortcut, select settings and a small window appears. set the values i give you in my screenshot for the active window, (for the inactive window just only change the Depth parameter to 100).

---
2. the other way:
now if you want complete delete the blur aero effect is possible to be using the method that made , HideBlur Tool for Windows 7 , though i have not tested yet.
[make a restore point first.]
also with this '' By hiding the blur it also hides the colorization ''.
you have to read very carefully the instructions of it.
---

if you are not sure follow the first method.
i just writte to you , why this blur effect appear and what options you have.

ZEUSosX In reply to ChrisLovesPsych [2010-03-08 19:29:09 +0000 UTC]

THE METHOD FOR UNINSTALLING.
---------

A -. the ease method : i have mentioned to my instructions,to make first a restore point, before replacing the original system files with mines.
have you made one? if you have then restore your pc.

B -. the not ease method. you can not replace the mac style system files because:
you must not delete the mac style system files .
you must rename each of them forexample, explorerframe.dll to explorerframe.bak
do you also have the explorerframe.old ? rename it to explorerframe.dll


so : 1. before replacing files go to Control pane [view by category] -->so Go to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts and press the folder 'Change User Account Control Settings' set the slider to the next window Never Notify.

2. go to your C:\Windows\System32 and rename my files that you have install it there from ExplorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, shell32.dll to ExplorerFrame.bak, imageres.bak, shell32.bak and then rename those you have renamed on past, from ExplorerFrame.old, imageres.old, shell32.old to ExplorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, shell32.dll

3. then go to C:\Windows and rename my file that you have install it there from Explorer.exe to Explorer.bak and then rename that you have renamed on past, from Explorer.old, to Explorer.exe

4. For 64 bit you have also to do this: o to your c:\windows\syswow64 and rename my files that you have install it there from Explorer.exe, ExplorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, shell32.dll to Explorer.bak,ExplorerFrame.bak, imageres.bak, shell32.bak and then rename those you have renamed on past, from ExplorerFrame.old, imageres.old, shell32.old to Explorer.exe, ExplorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, shell32.dll

5. restart. now you system has the original microsoft files so we have returned before.

sometimes the windows system 'holds' temporarily some folder icons the 'look' that they have before[so perchaps for some time even if you have changed the files you see mac style icons and microsoft ones to other files], so for eliminate this [which a windows characteristic 'function' and not of my files] do this :
personalize, display, shange from smaller to medium[125%] , log of [or restart] log in, then again personalize, display, shange from medium to small[100%].
If not at once after sometime, the folders of your active system files should work.
but perchaps there better methods, for this.

SO this is the method for uninstalling it.
thats the exaxt oposite for installing it.

---

C. in case you have not for any reason the ExplorerFrame.old files , and you have only from back up folder the original microsoft files be sure that you have taken ownership to them.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ZEUSosX In reply to hnguyen221 [2010-03-05 20:52:22 +0000 UTC]

I have already given the solution , please read my Texts. on Deviant art pages, in Tips i have written how to resize, and what to do when restart:
''........
Tips
............
-4. The windows 7 system behaviour to 22 pixel (small icon) taskbar is unbelieveable not applicable!
That means that everytime you log in to your system, taskbar becomes bigger[than 22pixels], and you have manually do this:
right clik to taskbar, select Properties, Uncheck Use small icons, Resize your taskbar as possible small, then check Use small icons and thats it.
To my system[32 bit win 7 rtm] I do this, i set first small icons taskbar size on top of desktop, after i set before shut down, or log off etc the taskbar to the bottom , when i log in i set the taskbar to the top and works ok
............. ''


so follow the solution and everytime you log in you will have small taskbar.
the only thing to remember is before shutdown, logoff etc to set the taskbar to bottom, and after log in to top.
if u forgot, do this set the taskbar to bottom, logoff, then log in set it to top. its quiq . thats it.

ZEUSosX In reply to mac0rpic [2010-03-03 18:57:35 +0000 UTC]

replace does not mean delete.
you have to rename ExplorerFrame.dll, Shell32.dll and imageres.dll to ExplorerFrame.old, Shell32.old and imageres.old

then copy my ExplorerFrame.dll, Shell32.dll and imageres.dll to C:\Windows\System32 .

do the same for explorer if u want, take ownership then rename to explorer.old, then copy my explorer to C:\Windows
------
before replacing files go to Control pane [view by category] -->so Go to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts and press the folder 'Change User Account Control Settings' set the slider to the next window Never Notify. restart.

do all your changes in code that u want. then again go to Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts and press the folder 'Change User Account Control Settings' set the slider to the next window to Default or to whatever u like, then restart.

ZEUSosX In reply to somenumber [2010-03-03 08:06:56 +0000 UTC]

this is normal as the windows system 'holds' temporarily the previous icons.
perchaps can be a better than these methods i will tell you [and more scientific ones], byt what you can do is personalize, display, shange from smaller to medium[125%] , log of [or restart] log in, then again personalize, display, shange from medium to small[100%].
If not at once after sometime, the folders of your active system files should work.
but perchaps there better methods.

ZEUSosX In reply to annemar1e [2010-03-01 22:11:58 +0000 UTC]

unfortunately not.
------
its made because of too small distances of windows.

i respect your oppinion, though my thought was to give to users enough space for working better.
if someone want files in short distances can use details, or content.

Hi Zeus, first of all: nice job! but unfortunately it took me now about 3 hours and i cant figure out how to get the visual styles.
i followed all your instructions multiple times, but when it comes to the final reboot, i have the mac welcome screen but my standard windows 7 layout. choosing one of your themes doesnt change anything except of the window frames and colour.
what about universal theme patcher instead of uxcore ?
any solution for me ?

Great theme, I really love it! Why not make a shadow the windows, instead of installing YzShadow? YzShadow does not work well with aero effect - minimize, maximize windows. Most people like to have a shadow.
P.S. - Sorry for my bad English.

go to taskbar icon of YzShadow , select settings, then select to the Drop Shadow category, near the bottom : Temporarily turn of the dropshadow effect when moving or resizing windows

because with YzShadow you control better how darker or not can make the shadow and the color of it.

leopard styles : [link]

rest styles/themes : [link]

also with YzShadow you can have transparent menus , following my values : [link]

perchaps ---> Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options --> Balanced ?

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options\Edit Plan Settings --> change advanced power settings --> select on the upper combo box --> High PERFOMANCE, now to the lower part find where it is written the name of your graphic card , open the + , again + and select also Maximum PERFOMANCE

Also, your computer manufacturer might provide additional power plans.

[go to help to find Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme), you find there many things ]

or perchaps is something other.
that i dont know.

go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup see if there any files and see if there is any aero theme,
also go to "C:\Users\[enter your username here]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\" see if there any files and see if there is any aero theme.

Hi man, i'm here again. I have a question. ΒΏHow can i fix the problem with the top of the window in the Leopard X Skin, the text is so near to the left corner and i can't see the gray button.

Thaks!!

ZEUSosX In reply to Velezto [2010-02-25 07:12:50 +0000 UTC]

use Leopard AX THEME, thats why i made 3 styles for leopard, it is written to the text of these deviant pages [both 32 and 64].
.............
Main categories of visual styles: Transparent, Brushed, Gray.

Transparent : Dion - Brushed : Alexandros (=Alexander the Great) -Gray : Leopard

Subcategories: I have also added some styles, to any of the first categories, with always opened folderband and addressbar, and no button to the top right edge of the window.(at the end of the Name its written AX or AF X , for example Leopard AX or Leopard AF X )
............

It's a native windows position in which we have not found the code how can we transport the icon of an application from the upper corner [normal left corner, if we use leftsider, right corner] to the center.
[the text of it can be centered to basic theme, and i have seen some experimental utilities -not uploaded- can made this to aero on win 7. but not the icon , if i remember well as its some times that i saw this]

ZEUSosX In reply to Magikshotty1 [2010-02-24 20:34:50 +0000 UTC]

i have setted the icon of finder as for explorer and also for my computer[its the same, but if you like to have the explorer in your taskbar incase that you unpin it , go to C:\Windows and drag it to taskbar so then when selected the libraries appear inside the folder.

Now lets say that you wanted the old microsoft explorer icon . Go again to C:\Windows find Explorer right clik to it , make a shortcut,Send to desktop, ok, then drag the shortcut to a safe folder or to the same directory C:\Windows rename it from Explorer shortcut to Explorer, then right clik to it, properties, change icon, browse ,set there C:\Windows and find and select the original microsoft old file, Explorer.old or whatever name you have setted. pRESS OK. Now your shortcut has the old icon looking , drag it to taskbar, thats it.

ok when i try to replace the .dll files with the ones in the download they are saying i cant because they are in use with another program.. am i missing something? I made copies...

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ZEUSosX In reply to i-kat [2010-02-24 15:12:27 +0000 UTC]

yes because before replacing the original files you must tane ownership on each of them. there is a text inside the pack named "Obtaining Permissions and ownership.txt", so do what is written to the system files you have to replace. then copy them to a safe folder. then rename the original ones in the original location, for example to C:\Windows\System32 the ExplorerFrame.dll, rename it to ExplorerFrame.old.dll .
then copy from my pack my ExplorerFrame.dll to C:\Windows\System32 . do that for all files.
have alook carefully to the Instructions here to this page also please.
