Why does every time someone posts a nicely customized mac screen I get a funny voice in my head that continually tells me "Get a Mac, get a mac right now" :roll:

What you need is a nicely customized PC.

As Inky said,you can get a PC and customise to look exactly like the mac interface you've seen from the previous post

liek this:

bad:
taskbar looks very clumsy, it's fat and ugly.
see-through crap

I heard you can turn off the see-through, but I think there's no helping the taskbar...

Resolution is kinda...low...

well you can blame the creator of the screenshot for that -.-
there's not enough of the original stuff on google that shows what it's like without lots of costumizations

Thats why am sticking to xp, vista looks better or is it me? Can't you go propertys and change the style on the taskbar?

you can make the taskbar smaller... just go into options and make the icons smaller and the taskbar will also shrink.

Edit: I think you also have to make the actual task bar smaller after.. maybe not. I don't remember exactly lol.

Does anybody know where you can get that tool to where it looks like a mac background (widgets and all that) and it looks like a mac but you can install it for pc or w/e. I had it one time for my laptop but I forgot how to get it...

see, you did it again, woke the voice in my head. Thing is that not only the appearance of OSX is great, the whole underlying part is beautifully engineered

Nicee~

My only advice would be to only get one if you're not going to sacrifice functionality just for a nice screenshot. If you you can still do all your work on the Mac then go for it. And sure, I'll help you out.

@maxie:

I hope you're not getting a Mac just for the desktop appearance... If that's all you want from a Mac, I can guarantee that you can make your desktop look like a Mac's. You just need a compatible version of the skin and another program to allow the use of a custom skin - something like VistaGlazz.

But if you were planning to buy a new computer anyway, then go for it. I never really liked Macs since they're never compatible with most of the stuff I use - but then again I think you can always go around that with an emulator or running 2 OS (never tried it - I only use emulators for gaming consoles).
