Dare to be Different...

FlyakiteOSX is a transformation pack. It will transform the look of an ordinary WinXP+ system to resemble the look of Mac OS X. The installer automates the process of replacing ystem files, applying registry tweaks, skins, and extras such as cursors, sounds, visual styles, etc. In case you are not happy with the results of FlyakiteOSX, everything is completely removable. Just run the unintaller from the Star Menu or from the Add/Remove Programs. I have been using it since the first version without any problems.

The download site alone is skinnable and fun to play with its features

Looks pretty cool. So, installing this and then uninstalling it, should you want to, will have no ill effects and everything would be back to normal?
on Jan 18, 2006
Absolutely, I have used all versions, just make sure you read the 'read me' file and only install the features you like best or know about like log on, boot screen, system files, icons, skins but then again everything is reversible...

Sounds good Diafragma...thanks for sharing!

do you need to uninstall any WB or IP or bootskin, etc.? or does it just write over them or something?
on Jan 18, 2006
If you already have WB installed it will just apply the skin, it wont affect your Icon packager either because all it will do is replace teh orginal XP icons.... Anything you do you will be able to reverse so dont be afraid of trying and if something doesn't seem right just unintall the part that you are not happy with....

Think Apple will shut it down, like Microsoft got rid of Kol's VistaXP?
on Jan 18, 2006
ok. so i installed this thing and discovered it looks like crap IMO (compared to Kol's tiger 2 theme, or anything else. the close, etc buttons are on the right. the skin looks pre historic, and, with the way everything looked (the website, the installer) i thought maybe they'd have a nice set of things, but NO.

o well

that's just me

to good to be true! an interesting find.

this is is one of the best suites by far. wow. Thanks diafragma.

Lets not judge it from one of the skins that it comes with, please look at the capabilities that could not be done before. If you are into customizing this transformation pack does more than any others and all at one time and without messing up your system.

Can the WB it comes with be changed once the pack is installed?
on Jan 19, 2006
Absolutely

I installed the program, I think it looks great and it's quite functional, but in the end I decided to switch back to my old setup. I used the uninstall option from the menu, and I left the search index program installed. When I restarted, everything was back to normal except for a number of system icons, mostly in the control panel. How do I get those back to normal?
