Ultimate Mac OS X Pack!

After scouring the internet, both these forums, gnome-look, and google, i have compiled the most complete MAC theme that I find to date. This is what it includes:

* Instructions for application bar
* usplash (Black and White) ** These are custom-made, took me foreverto do!
* cursors
* Firefox Theme
* gdm Login theme
* Login Splash
* Menubar (3 different colours in 2 resolutions: 1024 and 1280)
* Themes (Control, icons, and window)
* Wallpaper
* intructions for close/minimize/maximize buttons, mac logo, and more!

What I need to make perfect:

* Sounds
* Actual macintosh computer.


Hope everybody enjoys and let me know what you all think! Much thanks to Danny_Boy for hosting this file. Without him you would have to put up with Rapidshare for a long time. Thank you Danny Boy!
Screenshot of final product included.

Download

P.S. Personally, I need to keep the taskbar at the bottom (you can see I hid it for the screenshot on the right side), but you are free to do what you want!

EDIT:
*Screenshots added
*iFox Firefox theme added
*Bootsplash instructions rewritten
*Rapidshare link added.
*Rapidshare link removed, Danny Boy now hosting the file.

Re: Ultimate Mac OS X Pack!

Works fine for me too, wonderful idea by the way. With a few minor tweakers, OSX could look really nice.

Haha no, I didn't mean that, the version you uploaded looked pretty accurate!

I meant that OSX itself could look very nice with a few tweaks, I'm not a great fan of some of the default fonts and the striped white bars... Also, it's a bit too colourful at times for my taste.

But let's not turn this into a OSX-GUI discussion.

Re: Ultimate Mac OS X Pack!

screenshots added, and here are the usplash options i have provided. The text is completly invisible and all you get is the apple icon and a progress bar underneath in the same colour. Personally I like the white much better, but it's your choice!

Wouldn't it be more useful to have the startup/shutdown text visible (but not very strong) just in case there are errors?

No because Mac does things in the easy way which doesnt have error messages. By the way it looks OK, and I must say you did loads of work to put all these things together. But I dont think copying OS X interface is good thing. I use both linux/mac os x (osx86) and I must say that both have their + and -.
