Please USE it only to your COMPUTER SYSTEM as is.
Do not modify, edit , copy it or change the name or the images or the code of it, or use it to any project or copy it anyway in any meaning.
******
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.
********
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE 64 BIT of this page VERY CAREFULLY.
THE SYSTEM FILES OF YOUR SYSWOW64 FOLDER MUST BE REPLACED FROM THE 32 BIT FILES THAT I HAVE INCLUDED TO MY Macos X for Windows 7 - 32bit [link] FROM FOLDER '32 bit Dll files'
So 64bit users must download also my 32bit version of the theme.
THE REST SYSTEM FILES, in C:\Windows\System32 and in C:\Windows MUST REPLACED FROM THE FILES INCLUDED TO THIS PACK FROM FOLDER '64 bit Dll files'.
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 having shadows and have better of the theme looking, please use YzShadow [link]
For the Gray (leopard) styles when using Yz shadow its better to follow the values i give you. [link] for the rest themes [link] [link] [link] also with YzShadow you can have transparent menus ,to any of my themes following my values : [link]
-4. I have visual styles with no looking Folderband [is the toolbar that it has Buttons Commands like 'Organise', 'System Properties' etc] and other with always appearing Folderband. 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
5. 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.

MAKING SOME APPLICATION WHICH DOES NOT START WITH THE START OF WINDOWS, ENABLE TO START.
[ATTENTION, DO THIS ONLY IF YOU TRUST THOSE APPLICATION]
FOR leftsider, or Yz Shadow for example
For starting with windows start up , go to control panel/clasic view/folder options then go to view and select show hidden files and folders. then go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and add a shortcut of the leftsider or Yz Shadow
then go again go to control panel/clasic view/folder options then go to view and deselect show hidden files and folders.
(do the same for any other application, but only if you trust it, and does not automatically work with the start up of windows) [if you want also to uninstall an application , like leftsider and reinstall a new version of it, you have first go to "C:\Users\[enter your username here]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\" and delete the folder called "leftsider" = delete the folder with the name of the application , in this case current "leftsider".]

You know, I would LOVE to see something like this, but based off of Mac OS X Jaguar, with small scanlines or whatever you call them in the titlebars, and the buttons with shadows beneath them, and all the blue places could be changed to a bluish greenish color, made by somebody else.

hi Zeus, looks great! very nice work on this!
i've got a problem tough: i can't replace the .dll and explorer.exe files from your folder to my windows, system32 and syswow64 folders... windows keeps telling me that the folder is being used already by another programm and i should close that programm. i've taken the ownership of all the files. UAC has been disabled a long time ago so that shouldn't be a problem
happy to hear from you, thanks!

i donr know if your anti virus , block the procedure. make a scan, see that indeed my files are clean, then close firewall and antivirus, restart, make all changes following my instructions, then restart, the re enableΒ firewall and antivirus.

When I copy the ExplorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll and the other two they won't show up in the folder.. But I have optained the permissions and also changed the names to XX.old.dll
And I used the 64bis files and tried to copy them into system32.. why doesn't it work?
π: 0 β©: 1
So after I couldn't copy them still into where they belong, I restarted the PC. BAD IDEA!!!
Now everything is gone, ALL! Because the system couldn't find XX.dll. A person I know installed me new windows 7 here but still I am missing my whole data, mostly my picuters.
I mean it's not your fault, but MAYBE you should write somewhere in the discription that people who don't know that much about that shouldn't restart it..
everything is gone
π: 0 β©: 1
propably because you did not set theΒ Β UACΒ button to the bottom:
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
if this is not done, then even if you make copy/paste of the new files to system32 , those in action do not copying and the system is 'gone'.> its not the restART the problem> restart much be done according the instructions refer.> its theΒ UAC that usually make the problem. just follow the instructions as is.

Hello there!
I really like your theme but I have just one problem. When I replace my explorer.exe and reboot the computer, after logging in I get this message that explorer.exe couldn`t start as "Class is not registered". Do you have some kind of a fix for it?
π: 0 β©: 1
no, if you have an sp1 version go to my zeusosx.deviantart.com/art/Eos⦠and download my sp1 files from there.
if the problem is just explorer.exe Β insist to your system , then do not use itthe specific file.

i try many times but i can't restore it..
please tell me the way..thx..

Method 1:
Step 1. Use the windows installation disc and boot into it by pressing F2 and change boot order to boot CD.
Step 2. click ok on keyboard and language and go to the bottom
Step 3. Click repair my computer and use system restore. (only works if you created restore point before installing the theme).
Method 2: Using the installation disc and following steps 1 & 2.
Step 3. Click ok and wait until it sets up the temporary files.
Step 4. Pick custom install.
Step 5. Create a partition.
Step 6. Install windows in the new partition
Step 7. After installation is over go to D:\Windows\System32 and copy shell32.dll, ExplorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, and explorer.exe to C:\Windows\System32.
Advice next time create a copy in a safe place like dropbox or even My Documents, so next time you can use the LiveCD method.

propably you have not used the instructions as is:
1. before complaining for anything you should first give me a screenshot.(and also send me a message, as when i look to web , i look only my recent works and not this older.)
the themes following the instructions should look same as in screenshot.
if not something wrong is.
2. the themes , as you see in instructions worked :
so --->
MAIN LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS OF USING
a. 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).
b. do not change border padings.
c. in the new themes there is no any taskbar problem.
d. for close distance between close,min,max buttons Ave's application [still beta] , CloseButtonChanger etc etc etc
----------
so that you say to your 5 : . On the screens under your post this theme looks identical as the Mac OS, but under your theme they look different, far from original, specially they not regular dots, they like an eggs :\ its because you have used other than 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). ok? we solve this i think. if not answer it.
-------
now about your 1. Problem with all themes in the personalization window ... they are mostly the same :
i have 3 categories of themes, transparent, gray and brushed.
go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and change from there direct the themes. dont forget after applying one theme to select it another time anr re applying (this is a microsoft problem with 3rd party themes, and we do for changing the window border colors. ok ?
----
now about your 2. Huge problem with the min max and close button, doesn't matter if the are on the left or right side... over the yellow red and silver dot there are also old windows ones standard bars... they ugly :\ i can;t solve this problem
this is the same with your 3, just do that i told and solved:
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).
-----------
so that all was you fault , but this things happened. a screenshot from you , and send me a note , would give you more quiq the answer.
anyway , my last works are : a major one (in lion style, with shorte min, max, close buttons and lighter colors in some parts): sp1 ZEUS osX for Win 7 64 [link] and a minor one Dios Afi - Zeus Touch [link]
also sometimes needed to restart the system for applying a theme, because sometimes the classic windows theme is appear instead of that we have choosen. this because the utility we use for changing themes, temporarily stops working.
also remember this: i design in the style of osx i do not copy it as is .
there other designers who liked to make a 100% copy. i dont like. i design in osx or ios style, but under my view. and this like to alot of people and ofcourse to me.
anyway if you have any problem just writte it.
