cooper Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 First and foremost: either get a mac or try Darwin, the open source distro that has exchanged a lot of code with Mac OSX. Second, try Enlightenment for the general look. E is probably the most configurable window manager out there and it's performance is really good too in spite of that. But, it's _only_ a window manager. So that whole 'window menu bar is along the top of the screen' thing that at least the old macs used to have (haven't used a mac in ages, but that was one 'feature' I really did not like) you might have a hard time finding something similar. If that's the interface stuff you're looking for, see if you can bend Gnome or KDE to look that way, but I think you've got an uphill battle ahead of you.

PoyBoy Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Those assholes. nVIDIA doesnt even have working chipset drivers, so any good lawyer could transform that into video drivers, then since their worthless, you could include them in and release under he GPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is on the other side of things....but for Windows XP there is an OS X mod/skin called "Flyakite OS X", that changes the login, bootscreen, windows, icons, etc. I downloaded it for when I rarely use XP, but so far it's been great.!
