Description

 Macos X Fos for Windows 7 theme is made for using ONLY to a WINDOWS 7  system.


DOWNLOAD LINK :  drive.google.com/drive/folders…

(22-Jan-2018 Updated: As Microsoft has updated new version of system files, I also modify them and re updated the modified new ones, and re upload the Theme files)

--->may in the future upload the recent version(Sept 2020) I use.


To the pack included the windows 7 Themes, the new made code, icons and images, system files that must replace the original Microsoft system files (for 64bit and 32bit systems), a Theme for RkLauncer so to look as the preview image, a folder with additional icons, and shortcuts like the Flip3d(TaskView3d) so to use them to your system, osx sounds, osx style user account logo images, osx style cursors, osx wallpapers for the Theme and an Installation Instructions Text included. 



......................................................................................................................................................


Back to the future to Windows 7, [ no more windows 10]  , with a theme with default rounded corners of explorer's window, in os X style , made from ZEUSosX for Windows 7.
My work is based on the spirit of os X, and not a copy of it.
Designed, under my personal taste, with new kind of navigation and of traffic buttons, and much more in many sections.
Also the use of white Text color to the main window  Titlebar area gives a different look than Apple's osx versions,  i tried to give a white text on transparent background as i find this like a challenge.

Fos to Greek means 'light' and 'macos' in ancient Greek Dorian language means 'length'.

Hybrid becomes from the ancient Greek word ὕβρις, which initialy <ancient Greek  , becomes from 'ὑπέρ / hyper'  + βριαρός 'heavy strong', and also  means : 'violence resulting from excessive sense of power'. Today has the meaning of something that becomes of 2 not similar things.

Pan becomes from the Greek πάν and means 'everything', 'overall', 'universe' but also 'the absolutely essential' or the most essential element of a situation, a negotiation, a mechanism.
In ancient and in nowdays Hellenic (=Greek) [Active CODE] language, every letter, and every word is a specific number, and it has a specific meaning.
ZEUS ( or DEUS or DIAS) is Master of immortal Gods in Hellenic (=Greek) Active CODE [arithmetic machine logic] language, and APPLE is the given gift from ZEUS .

So the name of the THEME choosen from Hellenic = GREEK language and civilization.

THE  THEMES


There 3 kind of Themes including to this ZeusOsX work :

Hybrid100 , Hybrid125and Pan.

Hybrid100 & Hybrid125 having transparent Start menu and jump list menu, and also stripes if the Windows 7 system files replaced with the new system files containing the new code I have made after many years work continuous development, so you have to replace original system files to use the New 2018 version of code I made (first version of osx style code for windows released at 2010 and finished by me, around 2012).

Because of the Windows code limitation and hybrid modifications(transparent Start menu, stripes etc), Hybrid100 & Hybrid125  can be used only to fixed DPI conditions.

Pan theme has the usual aero style Start menu, which is half compact, half transparent to aero mode and has no stripes  but can be used to any DPI condition, using the new system files after replace the original ones.

The Hybrid100  theme works to : Smaller 100% (Default) DPI.
The Hybrid125  theme works to : Medium 125%  DPI.
The Pan  theme works to Any dpi, but has not stripes, has not  transparent start menu.

So, before start the Installation procedure, please first see at what condition is your Display :
Go to :
Control panel/All control panel items/Display

and see what is already checked, if Smaller 100% (Default) is selected then you must use the theme and the system files with the code that is made for Smaller 100% (Default) dpi Display.
To this case you can use Hybrid100  and Pan themes.

if Medium 125%  DPI is selected then you must use the theme and the system files with the code that is made for Medium 125%   dpi Display.
To this case you can use Hybrid125  and Pan themes.

To any other DPI version only Pan theme can be used.

-------------------------------------------------

As for working and looking good the themes needed to add and replace (but not delete) original system files, with new system files I have made containing new code, images and icons, is needed to know if your system works to 64bit or 32bit for choosing the appropriate ones.
So go to :

Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System

To the system type is written if your system is :
64 BIT OPERATING SYSTEM

OR

32 BIT OPERATING SYSTEM
So depending the system must be used the appropriate system files.

To the Instructions Text refer those detailed.

General View of How to Start the modification.


UNZIP the pack.

Unzip using 7z  www.7-zip.org  

First do a restore point to your system.

(If you dont know how to do a restore point I have included a 'Create a restore point' shortcut to the folder ''Some Shortcuts'' which exist inside the folder  ''Icons&more'' of the pack. Just select it and follow the procedure. )

Then set Never Notify  to 'Change User Account Control Settings'  : How to do it :

Important  TO DO THE FOLLOWING (IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS YOU MAY HAVE PROBLEM AND THE SYSTEM FILES WILL NOT BE COPIED AND YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEM TO YOUR SYSTEM), So GO TO :  

Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts

and mouse press the folder 'Change User Account Control Settings' set the slider to the next window Never Notify.

Restart your System.
 Its very important to do this .

After changing replacing the system files and we finish the modification, at the end, we can change this again to whatever wish, but while do this modification set the Never Notify choice.

To use the visual styles ( mstyle)/themes , you must install a  small application that enable the use of non microsoft themes, download it from  www.uxstyle.com/  

For replacing the original system files, you can do it or by taking permissions of the original microsoft system files, then rename them, and copy paste the new ones, or  easier doing this with a  small freeware program named  Se7en File Replacer.

Download  Se7en File Replacer  from : www.xptsp.com/fixit/replacer.p…  

So it may be easier to replace the system files  with the method of  using Se7en File Replacer, but I also will include to instructions text to the downloaded pack also the traditional method with the taking of  permissions and ownership of the original microsoft system files, and manually replace them

So all the method how to install the Theme and how to replace the original Windows 7 system files TEXT exist to the downloaded pack, as also Instructions text exist to the download link of the Deviant Art.
