Mac OS X Leopard Theme on Windows 7 Ultimate x86 [[Mediafire]]

Mac OS X Leopard Theme on Windows 7 Ultimate x86 | 65.2 Mb

Is not just a theme. With new code added to Windows system files , made by me, Windows becomes behaving like Mac OS X .

When foristance we select a folder as 'icon', we have separate mouse over image for the folder and other image for the text.

When we select a folder as 'details' we can have stripes, and mouse over images like mac os X , blue hover and white text .

Only for the code analysis and adding code parameters i spent about 1 year, started with windows 7 beta (January 2009), then rc1 and finally RTM(February 2010). I have imported some of my mac themes i have made on past for vista to Windows 7.
(on vista i spent more than 3 years for the final version of my mac style visual styles)
