Please USE it only to your COMPUTER SYSTEM as is.

******
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).

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.

Tips
-------
-1. For having to the left side the min, max, close buttons, use please leftsider. [link]
-2. For having close the min,max,close buttons an Ave's application needed CloseButtonChanger needed, (login to [link] ) , transparent and brushed styles will use number : 1.237 , leopard styles will use number : 1.45 .
-3. ADDING SHadows effect around your Window.
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".]
------------------------------------------------------------
How to stop the music playing when you enter the Login Screen of window :
right clik to desktop/personalization/sounds select it , a small window appear, there is a small button and the text near by says : Play Window Start up Sound , deselect the button, thats it, restart.

Okay, so i did everything as you said. I have the icons and the sounds installed but i dont have the actual theme. I have replaced and taken ownership of the files but its not changing. Any help?
π: 0 β©: 1
ZEUSosX In reply to ArnoldMoran [2011-05-21 10:06:08 +0000 UTC]
first of all restart of your system.
then go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes double clik at the theme you want, after the theme is applied select again to the same theme for re apply. (this second time needed for fixing the color of the taskbar and explorer.)
so some times when you want to apply a theme and you C:\Windows\Resources\Themes and you select , clasic windows themes appear. all needed is to restart.
-----------
there is another case also:
because of microsoft updates its possible that uxcore application stopped working.
so go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features and see is there any 3rd party application like uxcore (or universal theme patcher or any other similar).
if there is UNINSTALL it, restart,
then INSTAL for example again UXCORE, RESTART, then select a them in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes , does it work?

ZEUSosX In reply to ArnoldMoran [2011-05-22 08:55:43 +0000 UTC]
see this first in instructions:
.....................
Copy all the folders included in the folder 'Macos X Themes by ZEUSosx' [after unzip all files, and copy them to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes ,provided C is your Windows drive).
................
so you have to copy the files included (the files that are inside) from the folder 'Macos X Themes by ZEUSosx' to C:\Windows\Resource\Themes and not the folder 'Macos X Themes by ZEUSosx' to C:\Windows\Resource\Themes
============================================
if that is ok. then please try as i have written to you , a possible second case :
because of microsoft updates its possible that uxcore application stopped working.
so go to Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features and see is there any 3rd party application like uxcore (or universal theme patcher or any other similar).
if there is UNINSTALL it, restart, then INSTAL (for example again) UXCORE, RESTART, then select a them in C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

you have not replace the system files.
my work , works with all files together. its like a system. its like windows. windows working with all their system files. you can not work only with the themes.
my work has nothing to do with other themes or with the idea that we have for themes. its a kind of system. i programmed windows's parameters working different.
its windows but not as microsoft made[in the part of appearing] but as i think.
and its also a copywritted work.
so you have to replace all files as i describe to my instructions for working everything well.
also an sp1 version will come when i can.

zexLE In reply to ZEUSosX [2011-04-20 10:25:21 +0000 UTC]
I simply could not replace some files such as "ExplorerFrame", maybe because I have SP1.. i take ownership etc, but in vain.. I use Win7 Ultimate x64..
π: 0 β©: 1
ZEUSosX In reply to zexLE [2011-04-29 20:54:40 +0000 UTC]
to sp1 , from what i know there are 2 files different[from those i use], explorer and shell32.dll, so i suppose that explorerframe.dll and imageres.dll should work anyway.
you can download shell32.dll from [link] or be patient, i would give a new sp1 version in lion style as soon as i can.

ZEUSosX In reply to johann123 [2011-04-19 12:42:26 +0000 UTC]
find the folderband select organise - layout --> deselect details pane.
because to some styles i have setted autohide folderband , for appear it you have to touch with your mouse the line which separates the addressbar with the main white window area, and then hold right clik , drug your mouse to the oerganise category then layout, then deselect the details pane. for more information how to do this read this ''Auto-hide-Folderband.'' [link]
now if you dont understand this, i can give you 2 options.
1. close all your windows, open 'Games' , i suppose to the top existed the folderband, if not ---> option 2
2. use a style which has visible folderband such as i writte to my instructions text:
......................................
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.

ZEUSosX In reply to greatdiane [2011-04-15 16:20:26 +0000 UTC]
do you mean on desktop or in general?
anyway, to my first themes i used SegoeUI like microsoft aero, and also to some parts of the ui i used font size 8.[small]
---------------------------------
i also have installed and experiment with Apple's Lucida Grande but in windows i didn't like the results as it does not look like, like to osx font looking.
So i decided to my last themes using Arial font, with font size 9.
in my opinion its clearer and more elegant and it looks bigger, also i use at the most places 'bold' font style, unlike microsoft or apple [they both dont use in many places bold fonts].
the reason is because bold fonts, and special Arial , are looking better to the eye, specially for people working with large resolutions and many hours to the pc.

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).
................etc
that means that if you change the font size perchaps the theme will not look very well, but if you like to experiment do that.

Hi, is this compatible with SP1 now? I have the old version installed and after updating to SP1 and the apple start orb doesn't work any more.
Thanks

this because the sp1 replace some of the system files with new ones, such as 'explorer' system file. ('explorer' has the apple button)[also shell32.dll is new in sp1]
i will give you an sp1 version as soon as possible with also a 'Lion' osx style theme for windows 7.

the apple icon exist to the system file named 'explorer'.
so you have to replace original file explorer with that existed to this pack, as i explain to instructions text, for having the apple icon.
but if you mean something other give me please a screenshot.

I dont know if its just for me, or the details pane for explorer windows is black... which doesnt seem right

ZEUSosX In reply to Gallstafff01 [2011-03-20 23:47:47 +0000 UTC]
this because i 'have used and setted' the details pane area of explorer to top, and to top in mac osx finder exist the black cover flow area.
to some of my older visual styles i have used white color/black text, and to my future ones, i am thinking to re make the details pane to white or light blue.
so in future i will 'return' back to lighter colors for details pane.

ZEUSosX In reply to Homingbird [2011-03-17 16:24:36 +0000 UTC]
only to windows basic visual style section that can be, not to aero.
microsoft has hardcoded this part of the code.
only to some application you can have this feature , such as Paint.
not to explorer.
