Leopard for XP by ~andoru

First things first, with my desktop I am not necessarily trying to completely emulate Leopard, I am just finding all the things I really like to make a desktop I love for my Windows machine.

I use both Mac's and PC's and love using both of them, and I found out making my XP desktop just a little prettier, while still keeping it separate from OS X, is the best way to work without question.

Please use all these tools however you want, all of these things are what I use on my desktop, use them to emulate Leopard, my desktop, or use them as a part of your own desktop that is perfect specifically for YOU.

INCLUDED:

-Leopard WWDC 07 Wallpaper (2560x1600)

-RocketDock V1.3.1

-My very own customized RocketDock skin, a beautiful Leopard Replica, uses the exact open program indicator as Leopard, most of the Leopard docks out there try to fake the funk :P (which is actually why I started making my own version)

-Tons of icons (.png) for RocketDock or whatever you want to use them for.
Inlcluding many reflective icons for my RocketDock theme, also work very well for ObjectDock and should work fine with other docks as well.

-Vista Inspirit 1.1 (too large to include on this site, but you can go to:

(great shell pack for xp, highly recommended!)

-Task Bar Transparent (tiny program that doesn't use any resources)

-Windows Vista Aero Cursors (I like these much more than OS X's stupid pinwheel!)

-A Windows Vista sound pack (very nice)

-Vista Ultimate Icon package (for Icon Packager software from Stardock - www.stardock.com)


THERE IS A VERY COMPLETE "README" FILE INCLUDED ON HOW TO USE ALL INCLUDED ITEMS.

[EDIT]
-As requested, a smaller version of the pack was made that only includes the Dock Skin/Icons/Wallpaper, and the other small programs, for those who have issues with downloading the larger file:

enjoy! and thanks in advance for any kind words

haha, it is the best I could do with RocketDock, how are they wrong?

i realize they dont necessarily reflect of the transparent dock, but come on now.

oh i see how you did your reflections, I was using Leopard as a reference for mine. I think this type of reflection makes more sense doesn't it? I see it like all of the icons are on a flat plane and just the bottom tip is close to the dock.

I don't think it makes sense from that standpoint to have an angled icon, like the word or the folders, too reflect as if the entire bottom surface is against the dock.

but not a major problem either way, both ways look very nice :P

and, it was simple to make, but I really love my Picasa Icon :P

oh I see what you were saying!

i think a lot of people think the icons that look like they should actually be sitting on the dock should reflect like that.

I prefer the idea that all the Icons are all flat and are all sitting on the same plane in the dock, this keeps the bottom of each icon in the same position, which makes more sense when doing reflections i think.

trying to make each icon look like it is 3d would take way to much work, and I think would look wierd unless it was done extremely well, but it would be really hard to be consistent.
