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.

its difficult to explain better that it is written to instructions tect in this page:
just remember this 2 things:
A. before replacing any system 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 <--- its written also to instructions this.
B.before doing anything make a restore point.
go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System in the left up there some lines categories, select System protection, a small window opened, go down where it is written ''Create a restore point right now . . . '' and pess the button 'create'.
in the square appeared writte a name u like as the name of the restore point.
restore point help us to return our pc to the date that we made the restore point with the pc behaviour at that time.
[you can also save your image to 1 or more dvd ----> go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Backup and Restore and select on top left Create a system image , then in the next window select to 1 or more dvd, so saving there your system and work so you can use those 1 or more dvd to return back , ok? i recomend this method.]
use my latest updated visual styles/themes which have bigger than original 22 pixels height osx small icons taskbar but which work perfect to windows 7 code, no problem with the taskbar when log in, so download my APPOLON-THEMES : [link]
Do not delete original system files dll's of your system, we first rename the original dll [see in instructions text] and we copy the new ones.also we save the original to a safe folder as a second back up.
but for renaming the original dll we must take first Obtain Permisions and Ownership of them.use the "Obtaining Permissions and ownership.txt" for help on installing, it is icluded in the downloaded pack) to all system files and locations needed. in instructions text it described in which one. if we do not take ownership, we can not rename the original dll that "they are in use" so we can not copy paste the new ones.
[ example of taking ownership to a random system file
[ [link] ] internet explorer compatible]
so just follow the instruction text.

what usually happen is this.
some specific microsoft updates make the uxcore utility [the small application that enables your system using 3rd party visual styles/themes , like mines] stop working.
now becarefull you have not reinstall.

So, go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features amd UNINSTALL first the uxcore application, then restart.
now INSTALL uxcore application, then restart.

Sorry to complain too much, but I really love this theme so I don't want to switch to other themes because of the problems I'm facing. One more problem for me is:
Preview Pane in windows explorer doesn't work for .jpg images when I use this theme. (It's just blank when I click on a .jpg file). It works fine for other file types like mp3.
Preview pane still works fine for jpg images when I use a different theme.
Anyone else having this problem?

Is that Alexander The Macedonian in the middle of the wallpaper??? I think it is
π: 0 β©: 2
Ofcourse He is the Alexander The Great who united all Greeks.
also, in my village in south of Greece, Leonidion old people spoken since today, the same Doric [=Ancient Greek language] same as the ancient Macedonian language, of Alexander the Great spoken.
[ancient Macedonian and Spartans were spoken the same Doric language as both were Dorians]
that conection between ancient Greek language, history and today's tecnology give an inspiration and reffered to all of my works.

Yes but check the history again because definitely you don't know history...and Alexander the Macedonian (ΠΠ»Π΅ΠΊΡΠ°Π½Π΄Π°Ρ ΠΠ°ΠΊΠ΅Π΄ΠΎΠ½ΡΠΊΠΈ) is Macedonian not Greek
Just to know
π: 0 β©: 1
someone who is Macedonian is Greek.
someone who is Bavarian is German.
Macedonians are Greeks, Peloponisians are Greeks, Cretans are Greeks, Ionian are Greeks, Thessalian are Greeks, etc all those people from Ancient years since now speak Greek.
[link]
i hope this makes clear.
Alexander is Macedonian, as Themistocles is Ionian, Leonidas is Laconian ETC thats normal because in ancient years every area has a geographical name, a local group race with dialect thaty could be common with some other part of Greece.
so the basic recognised them is the common language [with many dialects, forexample Laconian(Spartans) and Macedonian spoken the same Dorian language because there are the same 'race' there Dorians, in Athens they speak Ionian dialect because there are Ionian race, in Thessally Aeolian dialect because of Aeolian race etc]
So if you are Macedonian then you are Greek and you must speak Greek or Greek dialect.
i speak [a little, but other older people do better than me] the same Dorian dialect [in my vilagge] as that of Alexander spoke, in all ancient monuments in Macedonia area this language is written everywhere, and all historians say the same thing , ancient Macedonians are Greeks.
Alexander he recognise himself as the leader of Greece, against the Persians, and Macedonians are going to Olympia for Olympic games in which in the ancient years only Greeks could be accepted.
The name Macedonia (Greek: ΞακΡδονία, MakedonΓa) is related to the ancient Greek word μακΡδνΟΟ (Makednos). It is commonly explained as having originally meant 'a tall one' or 'highlander', possibly descriptive of the people [link]
So the name is Greek and it has a meaning in greek language.
Also all the towns and villages of Ancient Macedonia have Greek name, also all the names of ancient people are Greek ones, the name of the parts of Macedonian parts of army, and the language of ancient macedonians is Greek Dorian.
so when we say, Alexander the Macedonian this is because he is king of Macedonians who are Greek Dorians and all speak the Dorian dialect.
Alexander himself was proud and claimed patrilineal descent from Heracles[Hercules].
=======
because of cristianity in midle ages in many parts of Roman [and Byzantine] empire , the common Greek language took advantage against local dialects, fortunately in my village
we speak even today same dialect.
=======
after bulgars take advantage in midle ages in some parts of Macedonia and also slav tribes inserting in areas outside of greek towns, some people mixed, some others killed and some others were origin slavs, so the language in some parts [northern mainly changed] but this is another story and has no relation with Alexander and with the Greek name Macedonia.
Just to know.
all the world from the time of Alexander since today they know that he is the Greek king of Macedonia.
all the books in all countries in all centuries say the same thing.
all the archeological evidence show the same thing.
only because of propaganda with no evidense for political reasons latest years written things that is out of history.
read all the ancient historians and you will find the truth.

Hey jackass don't try to be smart, the facts are facts that Alexander the Macedonian is MACEDONIAN and not Greek, Macedonians are Macedonians and just to know, Greece is Macedonia, Greeks are Macedonians... We have the same problem like Scotland, England doesn't recognize Scotland like Greece to Macedonia and just to know, the time will come and Greece will burn or drown...and just for reminder, don't copy and than paste historical bullshit from Wikipedia, another copy-paste and correction from some other source... Read books, see the light and please don't lie anymore... ΠΠΠΠΠΠΠΠΠ ΠΠΠ‘ΠΠΠΠΠΠ¨!!!

scotland is scotland, they are celts, not english.
ancient and nowdays macedonian are speek greek, as also bavarian are speak german, alexander spoke greek, all
ancient macedonian monuments have only greek laguage written.
for those you have no answer, so dont speak about scotish or irish celts who are indeed different than English.
the name Alexander is ANCIENT GREEK in Dorian Dialect, and it has a meaning only in ANCIENT GREEK in Dorian
Dialect, the word Macedonia is also ANCIENT GREEK in Dorian Dialect, and it has a meaning only in ANCIENT GREEK
in Dorian Dialect. for those simple things you have NO answer.
Alexander's WILL was to Unify All Greeks, Macedonian, Thessalian, Viotian , Athenian, Laconian etc.
so if you are Macedonian you have to follow his will, and all Greeks , Macedonian, Thessalian, Viotian , Athenian,
Laconian etc. must be united.
in the battle of Gavgamila in Persia, Alexander said 'i am fighting for the glory of Greece', and he said to his
unified Greek army [his army consisted from Macedonian, Thessalian, Athenian etc], that that war was a revenge
against the persians who had invide on past to 'Greece'.
as i said to you find the original ancient historians, there is the true, find it your self.
also as i see you writte in cyrillic alphabet. this is written for Slavs not Greeks, many centuries after the death of
Alexander.
Macedonia is a greek land that Slavs wanted ever.
dont accuse others that they lie, and give answers.
i never say something about u, because i know that u follow a political propaganda and propably books that follow
this. so i can not accuse u if u believe those.
i accuse only the people made those lies which are against of ALL ANCIENT historical evidence, books and
arcaiological descriptions.
so as you youself say :
read the original ancient sourses.
see all monuments,in Macedonia,they have greek written descriptions.
i send you wiki pedia, because its in english.
i dont use it for me as i read ancient historians in ancient dialects, so in the original historical resourses there is
the true.
just that i have read in ancient have the same meaning with those written to the links of wiki pedia that i gave you.
i read in ancient greek all the speaches of Alexander the Macedonian from the original ancient resourses, try to do
if you can.
also my local Tsaconian[=Laconian] dialect , [=ancient Dorian dialect same as the ancient Macedonian one] helps
me to understand better the speaches of Alexander who was spoken the same language. do the same if you are
Macedonian and speek anciant Macedonian Dorian dialect.
do it if you can. can u?
===
so the propaganda that you learned concentrating to one thing that is the real purpose 'and just to know, the time
will come and Greece will burn or drown' .
i will never say that for any nation or people.
this is the real purpose behind all .
----
you have no answer to anything about ancient Macedonian language about ancient Macedonian monuments written
descriptions, about the ancient Macedonian Dorian dialect, names of the people, of the name of the towns, and the
name of the country Macedonia and the meanings of each in ancient and nowdays greek.
you dont speak ancient dorian language as i do.
if you are Macedonian, then you are Greek, not because i say, but because Alexander said and fight all of his life
for this.
----
read ancient original resourses and please dont reply what political propaganda made.
if you want the truth one day you will find it your self. just read original ancient resourses.

Hello Sir!!
Do you know about Resource Hacker application ?
I wanna change window 7 skin on this Resource Hacker, but I don't know where of its skin name such as taskbar, start orbs,.....................

Yes I will try to make it more clear:
I have 3 programs opened, here is the taskbar with Aero theme:
[link]
You can see 3 program icons are highlighted, other icons are pinned but not opened
But in this theme, only 1 icon is highlighted, that is the icon of the active window:
[link]
The other 2 icons look the same as other pinned icons, so I can't tell which programs are opened, which are just pinned icons.
Hope you can understand me. Thanks for taking your time to answer

Thank for your reply.
I installed APPOLON theme and love the face that I don't need to resize taskbar everytime I log in
Thank you so much for your themes.
For the 1st problem, I can leave with it, but I still have the 2nd problem in APPOLON theme:
2. When taskbar is in group mode, I can't tell what programs are opened, only the active window icon is hightlight, other icons look the same (I can't distinguish between pinned icons and icons of opened programs)
π: 0 β©: 2
please make a screenshot with my theme, also make a screenshot with aero so to undesrstand the exact problem.

Hi, thank you for your great work, I tries some MAC themes before but this one is the BEST 
Only 2 problems for me. I use the aero theme (DION III):
1. When a window is maximized, the title font color changed to black, makes it really hard to read since I use a dark wallpaper
2. When taskbar is in group mode, I can't tell what programs are opened, only the active window icon is hightlight, other icons look the same (I can't distinguish between pinned icons and icons of opened programs)
Hope you can help me with these problems. Sorry for my English
π: 0 β©: 1
for the first one there is no solution,unles i made the text white , but then we could have problem with white style backgrouns, also i dont like the solution that microsofts gives to aero as i find that unglie. the best solution would be if we could have a text style like that exist to our desktop, white with a very thin dark shadow, but this kind of text style is hard coded and unfortunately can not be applied.
perchaps i could give a version with white text for the transparent themes, in the mean while please install and use my latest updated visual styles/themes which have bigger than original 22 pixels height osx small icons taskbar but which work perfect to windows 7 code, no problem with the taskbar when log in, so download my APPOLON-THEMES : [link]

so if u have restorator[u can download the trial verion] and use a lighter version of icons, just modify those 2 dll's icons, if you know how to do it.

thank u for your nice words about my project, and for greece.
and soon come for vacations.
i just show your website images and written about, now about your question:
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.
so then you can restore your pc, to an earlier date.
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 for example, 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.

I 
Thank you so much..
But is this a bug on my OS or what?
The Navigation Pane Icons doesn't change when opening a folder through windows explorer but does when opening through a shell command line or an application...

i really can not answer to this.
to my system everything work fine.
this you describe is not normal.
---
an oppinion, but i dont know if helps.
what i can imagine is possible is perchaps a registry ??? problem perchaps, oraffection, see please if the visual styles are working and look as should, like in my screenshots.
to some pc , not to all, for reasons not understandable, when we change system files some applications or devices[such as external usb] does not work !!! this has to do with how windows works and not with the code of my files. anyway the only solution, but maybe its difficult to you, to this is this: reinstalling windows 7, saving first all your work to a a dvd.
but becarefull , you must do as i explain here:
so first save all your work to a dvd.
install windows , becarefull NOT installing any programm,
activating windows 7,
installing all microsoft updates, RESTART,
make restore point
install uxcore utility [the small programm that enables using 3rd party themes like mine] THEN RESTART,
installing my themes and system files, FOLLOWING my instructions,[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.]
please also install and use my latest updated visual styles/themes which have bigger than original 22 pixels height osx small icons taskbar but which work perfect to windows 7 code, no problem with the taskbar when log in, so download my APPOLON-THEMES : [link]
make agaIN A restore point,
after we install any program we like, microsoft esentials [security etc] and i THINK NO PROBLEM will appear.
[before the installing any application, is good if make a dvd image of your system, so anytime you needed to reinstall your system and you dont want to do all the work of the replacing of system files, you could easily reinstall direct to your mac style windows system] ok?
i know its a little trouble, but this because of windows behaviour. Hope after those no problem will appear.

sorry , i cant help u more, hope if that worked, but writte if it does not.

Very beautiful theme you have here
Only problem I've got after getting this installed is that I have no audio anymore 
I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64 if that helps you any.

well, all problems become from the way that windows 7 see the system files and how system files cooperating with the registry.
solution:
1. see first if that helps : go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting , then goto Hardware and sound , and see if any solution there can be found.
2. if not any solution happened you must understand this:
to some pc , not to all, for reasons not understandable, when we change system files some applications or devices[such as external usb] does not work !!! this has to do with how windows works and not with the code of my files. anyway the only solution, but maybe its difficult to you, to this is this: reinstalling windows 7, saving first all your work to a a dvd.
