Artist's Comments

Welcome! I decided that its time to compile all of the most useful FREE Leopard resources on one page so that all Windows XP users can enjoy the look of Leopard quickly and easily. This is the final version of this pack. Any updates from here on out (if there are any) will be for bugs only, if there are any.

Complete Changelog:
-stobject.dll and netshell.dll updated.
-Now added a stobject.dll and netshell.dll to the download so you can emulate the OS X system tray with fewer applications!
-Added a DisableRollback registry edit to the download (prevents windows from reverting the shell32.dll file to its normal state) If you experience issues with a reoccuring autorun update, see this link for assistance [link]
-New log out icon (in log off windows dialog) and better themeui/shell32 sidebar bitmaps.
-Added a smart folder icon for findexer sidebar.
-Added a mydocs.dll and xpsp1res.dll.
-Added Mac Sounds! Tweaked msgina.dll and shell32.dll so they have matching logout/shutdown dialogs and better, more leopard-feeling buttons.
-Tweaked some more bitmaps for accuracy and consistency.
-Added an all new msgina.dll so the log off and shutdown dialogs have a Mac feel.
-Completely new explorer, with all new icons and start menu tooltip! My apologies for the first explorer... it was totally inaccurate, I should not have included it.
-Tweaked themeui with some new bitmaps.

Download information:

The download on this page contains a shell32.dll, themeui.dll, msgina.dll, mydocs.dll, xpsp1res.dll, explorer.exe, stobject.dll, netshell.dll, icon refresh utility, registry keys (these are all for XP only!), Desktop4ever mod, Leopard sounds, and all the bitmaps I used to create or modify the previous items. Download them, and using the read me file, install those files on your system. Full directions are provided with the download. You can also use the bitmaps and the screenshot provided on this page to help guide you.

Next, I will list resources that will help you achieve the look of Mac OS X Leopard on your system. Be sure to follow the instructions the authors provide with these items, and all will go well with you and will go quickly. Let me know if any links are broken.

***I would recommend a minimum of 512 MB of RAM for anyone planning to use the freeware applications below. I heard a report of these apps working decently down to 256 MB, however.***

what about a leopard sound scheme? I have NEVER found the leopard sound fx converted for windows and it would really set your pack apart from everyone else's. :)
