******

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.

For open the folderband to the styles that is not appeared, please have a look to my Auto-hide Folderband of win 7, [link] where is written SOLUTION FOR WINDOWS EXPLORER , MY COMPUTER WINDOW STYLE. / SOLUTION FOR WINDOWS EXPLORER , WHEN YOU HAVE DETAILS PANE AT THE TOP. etc

6. if you 'use check boxes to select items', and you select your folders as big icons,select with your mouse the text of the folder, not the folder and it will opened.

Hey ZEUSosX! I saw a video of the results of your work and I thought it was amazing. I was interested in doing it on my own computer but I have Windows 7 Starter. In this version I don't have the option "Personalize" when I right click my desktop. I've searched on other websites and learned that there's no way of changing windows 7 starter theme without using hacks.
Is it possible to apply your Mac theme on Windows 7 Starter or was that made only for Windows' that offer the choice to change themes?

Hey.

I have a little problem. After installing this theme everything works perfect except my sound card mixer. I have error:

Windows has detected that audio enhancements for the following device are causing problems: Speakers (SB Audigy)

would you like to disable it?

In effect i cant use my sound card mixer functions, such as bass boost or other effects. Any solutions on that?

ZEUSosX In reply to Gelerth84 [2011-03-17 16:20:20 +0000 UTC]

MY code is not affected to devices or hardware in general, or in any software address as it is designed not to affect to those locations.
but .. but when we change the original system files of our system, sometimes windows 7 reacts.
THis kind of problems PERCHAPS become from the way that windows 7 see the system files and how system files cooperating with the registry.this why happened to some systems this, specially with the shell32.dll
Thats Windows. SO I CAN not direct give you answer but i can give you some suggestions and perchaps a personalized solution for your pc.
-----
usually i recomend to people to change system file to a clean installation of winsows 7.

if u make a clean installation of the system normaly u will not have any problem.
clean installation is when we save first our data, and reinstall our windows 7 to our system . so we install windows , not installing any programm, installing updates, installing my theme and system files, after we install any program we like]
to my system i have no problem with any programm or device.
--------

now, if you dont want to do this i can give you a solution, which will work only to your pc, ok?
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.
i suppose you have changed thev system files dll as i described to instructions text.[That means that in your C:\Windows\System32 exist the new shell32.dll that you have downloaded from me, and your old original named shell32.old ok?]

to your desktop make a new folder, '32 bit shell32.dll ' [i suppose your system is a windows 7 32bit]

go to your C:\Windows\System32 find the system file shell32.dll, copy paste it your '32 bit shell32.dll' folder and name it shell32.mac
go again to your C:\Windows\System32 find the system file shell32.old and copy paste it your '32 bit shell32.dll' folder and name it shell32.dll
ok?

now download Restorator [there is a trial free version]
(you can do the work with resourse hacker but its more difficult)
now do with Restorator the same steps, as i described you ,

open with Restorator the shell32.dll which included to your '32 bit shell32.dll' folder on your desktop [open, file--> ] do not close the program.
now open with Restorator the shell32.mac which included to your '32 bit shell32.dll' folder on your desktop [open, file--> ]

there are some categories appeared in the left side of each, ok?
go first to your shell32.mac categories, find uifile then do a right clik to it, select Copy now go to to your shell32.dll categories, find uifile then do a right clik to it, select paste
go again to your shell32.mac categories, find Bitmap do a right clik to it, select Copy now go to to your shell32.dll categories, find Bitmap then do a right clik to it, select paste
go again to your shell32.mac categories, find Icon do a right clik to it, select Copy now go to to your shell32.dll categories, find Icon then do a right clik to it, select paste

now select to the top left click the shell32.dll to be sure that this is the active dll in restorator
go to File [categorie] save [it]

and finally copy paste your new saved shell32.dll to C:\Windows\System32 [rename the previous to shell32.bak1 etc ]

now restart.
---------------
why we do all this:

because we have transported images and code , to your original shell32.dll system files, that means that all the internal code regulations, those which have relationship with drivers, programs Almost INSTALLED on past and cooperation with the registry are those of YOUR ORIGINAL system , so i think ITS POSSIBLE this would solve any existed problem to any system, though it needed some time to make it yourself and be very carefull, though it is ease.

so that is really personalization as you use the original system files [with new icons and code Only affects to appearing]
perchaps this will help you.

Unfortunetly none of this methods helped me. I probably must have something messed up with my sound card drivers.

Still i use your theme but without affecting system files(so its quite incomplete for me but still looks great).

nonetheless i really appreciate your help and the work you have done here.

Keep up the good work!!

ZEUSosX In reply to Gelerth84 [2011-03-18 14:30:34 +0000 UTC]

there is another solution that one of the people have , has done.
lets supposing that you use my system files.
make a restore point.
then go and uninstall your sound drivers.
then restart, one or 2 times.
then via MICROSOFT UPDATES install a generic sound driver [from microsoft].

is that worked?
if not go to your restore point back.

if worked but not perfect. do a new restore point.
if you have the original drivers to a cd or file, try to re update your sound drivers.i hope that will work.
----------------
(in any case you , in future want to re install windows 7 nstall windows , not installing any programm, installing updates, installing my theme and system files, after we install any program we like]
to my system i have no problem with any programm or device.)

yes.

but it is better to do this:
go to the desktop computer.
make a restore point.
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.
Obtain Permisions and Ownership of original shell32.dll that located in C:\Windows\System32
copy to your desktop this shell32.dll ok?

now from your laptop copy to a cd the shell32.dll that is your favour one.
then go to the desktop computer , and set the cd to cd drive. copy it inside a folder and change its name from shell32.dll to [forexample] shell32 mine.dll ok?

now also copy this to the desktop area where is also the other [the original] shell32.dll of this computer.

open each file with restorator.
go first to shell32 mine.dll right clik to uifile category, copy ------> now go to the other file which also you open with restorator right clik to uifile category, paste.
do the same for the categories that are named : bitmap and icon . [no other categories change]

then save the shell32.dll
then go to C:\Windows\System32 rename the shell32.dll to shell32.original1 and then copy paste the saved one from your desktop area.
thats it.
==========
why we did not copy paste direct from one computer to the other.
the method i gave you its more safe for every computer, but a little more difficult.
we do this method, because if you have install programs to your pc, as also the drivers of the pc cooperating with the registry and the original shell32.dll in a way that if we replace the shell32.dll with someone shell32.dll from other computer, may some programs or drivers stops working. but that does not happen in every pc. sometimes there is no problem appear.

THis kind of problems PERCHAPS become from the way that windows 7 see the system files and how system files cooperating with the registry.this why happened to some systems this, specially with the shell32.dll
Thats Windows. SO I CAN not direct give you answer but i can give you some suggestions and perchaps a personalized solution for your pc.
-----
usually i recomend to people to change system file to a clean installation of winsows 7.

if u make a clean installation of the system normaly u will not have any problem.
clean installation is when we save first our data, and reinstall our windows 7 to our system . so we install windows , not installing any programm, installing updates, installing my theme and system files, after we install any program we like]

you can have my original code which has stripes etc with microsoft icons.
i can give you a solution, which will work only to your pc, ok?

download Restorator [there is a trial free version]
(you can do the work with resourse hacker but its more difficult)
now do with Restorator the same steps, as i described you :

[if you use sp1 be sure that you have takem obtain permissions of your system files and 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.]

open with Restorator forexample any of my system files from mine and copy only the uifiles, to your microsoft original ones.
[you can see what is UIfiles when you will open a system file, to the left there are categories, one of them is that named UIfiles.]

how: copy the explore of micosoft [that you have renamed to explorerframe.bak to your desktop] now copy my explorerframe.dll to your desktop]

[open, file--> first my explorerframe.dll then open, file--> your explorerframe.bak ]

there are some categories appeared in the left side of each, ok?
go first to my explorerframe.dll, find uifile then do a right clik to it, select Copy now go to to your explorerframe.bak categories, find uifile then do a right clik to it, select paste

[if you want also my buttons and not microsoft's follow this step, otherwise not]
go again to my explorerframe.dll, find Bitmaps then do a right clik to it, select Copy now go to to your explorerframe.bak categories, find Bitmaps then do a right clik to it, select paste]

now select to the top left click the explorerframe.bak to be sure that this is the active dll in restorator
go to File [categorie] save [it]

delete my explorerframe.dll, now rename your modified explorerframe.bak to explorerframe.dll


and finally copy paste your new saved explorerframe.dll to C:\Windows\System32 [rename the previous to explorerframe.bak1 etc ]

do the same for imageres.bak --> imageres.dll
shell32.bak to shell32.dll

now restart.
----------------------

now you can use my visual styles, with stripes, and code, with microsoft icons, that's it.
