Description
I’m sure the experienced users do know all of this, but
for the newbies will be useful, so let’s go. What is a theme?
In Windows XP, the themes (or Visual Styles) are used for change
the look and feel of the graphic user interface (GUI). It’s
a set of files (including icons, sounds, wallpapers, etc.) that
can transform your boring Windows box in something much more attractive,
nice or simply in something unique and exclusive. Of course, you
can't use visual styles in earlier versions of Windows (Win2k, Milleniumm
or Win9x) because the skinning engine is embedded in the XP and
is unavailable in those.
Iceman's Jaguar Theme. This specific theme tries
to emulate the GUI of the beloved and cool Mac OS X, offering a
very closer and accurate look and although isn’t perfect,
you’ll be unable to find another one (at least, not at this
moment) that could give you a best emulation. Of course, the original
OS X do have some advanced features (such as hardware-accelerated
transparency, and a GUI specifically built around this look) that
are unavailable on Windows, also the behavior of the OS is kinda
different so an exact replica of OS X is simply impossible.
