Description

It is not an exact OSX replica. But it is fully functional. And lighting fast. Focus was on functionaly, not on aesthetics. The taskbar is the main interface. Therefore, while a dock might be added, I rather prefer to use the bar, as it fully supports any dock functionality while saving RAM. All the software running gets the system only to 250MB.

Main software:

UXTheme patcher and a leopard msstyle theme.
StylerTB with my own modded theme.
Truelaunchbar for the menu. This is the main interface gate and worth the payment.
Main OS DLL's and explorer.exe replaced with modded files. Replacer was used for it.
YZShadow for the nice windows shadows.
I loaded Chicago fonts for the bar.
IconTweaker with a leopard icon set.

Finally the window buttons might be moved to the left with TrueTransparency or MinMax. But I learned both run into some compatibility, performance and stability issues. Therefore they were left at the normal Windows position in the top right corner with huge performance advantages.
