    You know on a mac, when you like minimize stuff, it sort of gets 'sucked' down into the dock thingie, I want that for my pc :) does anyone know of any software that would imitate that?

    Thanks, Cameron :sony:

    Try ThemeXp, There are a lot of OS based Visual Themes availible to be used with StyleXp. Make sure you pick one with the added mac bar at the bottom, or else you'll just get a pretty start menu & taskbar.

    I have used style xp before, but I am happy with my windowblinds theme ;-), I'm not looking for a skin, just a small program that changes the way windows are minimized to the task bar, thanks anyway

    "FlyakiteOSX is a transformation pack. It will transform the look of an ordinary Windows XP+ system to resemble the look of Mac OS X. The installer simply automates the process of replacing critical system files, setting registry tweaks, and installing extras such as cursors, sounds, visual styles, etc."

    not the dock, just the 'look' of the windows when they minimize, maybe no-one has ever thought that a windows user would want this, lol, I have attached a pic of it if you dont know what you mean [​IMG]
