PixOS is basically Mac OS X, so it would be pointless to do so. Most of Pixtudios skins are Aqua inspired.

Plus, it's not a free theme, so I would think anyone who wanted to port it would have to negotiate a deal with PiXtudio to sell the OS X port aswell.

Some may say it's kinda Win Xpish, BUT I like it. Reminds me of the Crystal WindowBlind theme I had when I was using my Dell PC. Except I like this one much better.

Also, I would love to have this wallpaper


Except, get rid of the font "Pix OS" and that goofy folder in the corner. This would be a nice background!

O I like that theme.

Who runs that site? They can't code very well as Safari renders the border for the frames because he didn't set borders=0 and there's a bg image missing from a cell he must've coded incorrectly as well. Damn M$ coding standards

I think he means most 12 year olds cant AFFORD Photoshop... so why would they have a legal copy of it? Do you know a lot of 12 year old PRO designers?

considering in the end it costs about the same amount as a xbox then yes lots can, and if they isnt many 12 year old pro designers why do they need warez photoshop other than to make stupid garbage

I don't mean to be an ass, but next time please give me a heads up before using my titlebar buttons in your theme. Thanks

Yes he should have asked before releasing it but...
i did it for my own self and it was never released...
He apparently created a tweak for his own use, never intending to release. It was only after a request for a similar theme, the fact that it was originally built on yours had probably been forgotten.
