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.

-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 :

ZEUSosX In reply to brent-dolan1 [2010-03-21 21:09:33 +0000 UTC]

the apple start button image belongs to explorer.

so perchaps needed explorer file to be rechanged.
so from the 64bit pack, the explorer[explorer.exe] will be replace again to C:\Windows\ the explore exist by renaming etc.

ALSO from the 32bit pack the explorer[explorer.exe] will be replace again to c:\windows\syswow64 the explore exist there by renaming etc.

hope it works.

ZEUSosX In reply to selsh3 [2010-03-17 07:51:01 +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.

----
this is microsoft's code problem in which only 24 pixels height size can be direct resized or not explode when log in.
for now this is the only solytion i can give.

I could install the pack without any 32/64 bit issues. However,most of the icons like the desktop icons, drive icons, etc. haven't changed. In the Save As dialog windows, I see the OS X icons but they disappear eleswhere.

Thanks a lot for your magnificent work!

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ZEUSosX In reply to Kajouma [2010-03-09 14:40:28 +0000 UTC]

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 icons of your folders of your active system files should work.

this is a native windows behaviour that 'holds' some times previous versions [of apearing] icons looking.

please also tell me if any antivirus is using during the replacing of the files.

----
do me a favour if u can and if it is possible please.
save your songs and data first. go to control pane (Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features)unistall itunes, restart, then download the latest version of itunes(if u have already done skip this), then download it again, after install itunes restart, now see if it works ok.
----
please tell me also, if you are using a system that u have installed windows 7 or it was pre installed.
if preinstalled are there any custom applications from the company made the pc?
also if u update the system to 7 from vista or xp?
then tell me if u use any skins for media player, i tunes and windows media player?
----
[To a new pc : the replaced of system files its better to be as:
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 staus of Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Power Options to Higher options, then we do restore point,then we replace the system files,do restore point again, finally we install any aplication, antivirus etc we want.]

DON'T INSTALL THIS THEME!!

I can't uninstall it. I made backups and all, but most of the "features" cant be uninstalled... Really annoying, I dont want to reinstall the OS because of this.

ZEUSosX In reply to Hegi90 [2010-03-04 08:03:22 +0000 UTC]

Have you made restore point as i desribe to my INSTRUCTIONS ?

IF you made you can Safely return to your previous microsoft version with NO PROBLEM.
---------

IF NOT, that mean that you dont make the proccess as described.
Do Not Panic other people if you dont know how to do your self.

what exactly you have only to do is this:

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 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.

SO this is the method for uninstalling it.
thats the exaxt oposite for installing it.
--------------
BUT THE MOST FAST AND SAFE proccess FOR RETURNING BACK is to use RESTORE POINT.
So the question is Did you made RESTORE POINT as should, AS YOU READ to my INSTRUCTIONS ?

Connection with internet has nothing to do with explorer.exe

explorer.exe has not new code, only icons and start button images added, so it does not affect anyway to internet.

u have to download as u see in instructions uxstyle [link] then restart your pc, then u have to copy the files that included inside the 'Macos X Themes by ZEUSosx' folder to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes.[so be carefull to this, copy the files included the folder and not the folder]
restart one more time[not neccesary but sometimes needed].
now if you do right clik to your desktop, personalize, (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Personalization), you will see my themes appearing tin that window. select that you preffer.

in any case you have problem how to do,or something missunderstood, writte.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

ZEUSosX In reply to jgiordano96 [2010-02-28 15:37:09 +0000 UTC]

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.
------
download my 64 bit pack to your pc.
then download the 32 bit pack version to your pc.

-----------

First you take ownership to the 3 dll --> explorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, shell32.dl that exist to C:\Windows\System32 ,then u take ownership to explorer that exist to C:\Windows .

then copy all 4 original system filres to a safe folder as backup for any reason.

then go again to C:\Windows\System32 and rename the original dll to explorerFrame.old, imageres.old, shell32.old
from this 64 bit pack copy my explorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, shell32.dl to C:\Windows\System32 , then go to C:\Windows\ find explorer , rename it to explorer.old and copy from this 64 bit pack my explorer to C:\Windows\ .

-----------

Now go to c:\windows\syswow64 and take ownership of the 4 system files of it, explorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, shell32.dl and explorer.exe [this last is the explorer].

after take ownership,copy them to anpother safe folder and then go again to c:\windows\syswow64 and rename those files to explorerFrame.old, imageres.old, shell32.old and explorer.old .

then copy from my 32bit version paclk my explorerFrame.dll, imageres.dll, shell32.dl and explorer.exe to c:\windows\syswow64 .

thats it.
------

there is a text inside the pack which explain how to take ownwership of a system file. the text named 'Obtain Permisions and Ownership'

also use your Internet explorer to the link i will give u [my opera browser can not see the link] to see the steps of ownership f taking ownership to a random system file[it does not open at once it open after 1 minute in compatibility mode, and another 2 min for load it] [link]
--------

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

Thank you so much! I've been looking for a theme this good for Windows 7 x64 for a good while now. This one's the best by far! I wonder if some sort of batch file can be made to sort of automate the whole fat start menu issue. Also, it'd be fun to get each menu system for each program duplicated so it appears in the place of icons on the start menu; making it even MORE OSX like! There's probably nothing like that out there, but it's just a thought.

The pain of having to run a windows partition is now greatly diminished because of this awesome skin!

Thanks again!

about batch files i asked some experts who told me that they could do to vista,or xp but not on 7, about anything other i will just say that i am extreme tired (perchaps something minor only).

my work is not just a 'theme' . is something Different than you have ever seen. IT'S a new systems behaviour. i have not just change values of parameters.NEW code lines has added,what you have in your pc now its not windows in behaviour in some way of fuctionality and looking [ofcourse].
it was exteme difficult what i did. my explorer crashed hundred thousand times before finding at last the (mac style) condition/new added parameters/new code lines i made, working with stability.
so no time left me for improove more the visual styles or the system files[exept if i should upload them after 2 years as i did for vista] .
i am 46 years old and that took me a lot of energy , so i am extreme tired and i feel that was my last work.

Well, your work is certainly appreciated not just by me, but by many others that much prefer the osx experience. 46 years? You've still got so many more years ahead of you! Sounds like this project was extremely taxing... If I were you, I'd probably have lost faith in humanity by the time something as difficult as this was finished. Not because of the challenge itself, but because IT'S WINDOWS.

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.

AMAZING work....But how is it possible to remove this black band under the address bar ???

ZEUSosX In reply to JohnTheRevelator [2010-02-23 00:40:56 +0000 UTC]

please give a screenshot.
if you mean the Details Pane you have to open folder band and select organise, Layout deselect DETAILS pane.

1.I have made visual styles/themes that have already opened the folderband like
Dion AF X ,Alexandros AF X
and Leopard AF X.
To those is ease to find the organise command button to the left side of your folder band of your window select organise, Layout deselect DETAILS pane.

2.For the rest because styles because i hsave setted autohide the folderband and the folderband does not open smooth like vista, but flickers up and down, you have to follow the instructios written 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
This method consist by holding continiously the right button of your mouse continiously before selecting a border between the main window area and the upper area, or for making clik to a library button or a library text etc

If all sounds to you difficult follow for now the 1.first method with the styles that have already opened the folderband, and practise more next with the rest.

[link] here is a screenshot...

There are another two problems I found : I just canΒ΄t resize the icons in the taskbar from windows7...I clicked "use small icons" but nothing happens.

The 2nd problem is that I can not open my folders with a double click when the Icons are set to "Big" ( rightclick > view > big icons )
