I've really enjoyed this thread. When I had a windows computer I kind of got into the themeing scene, and I realized that I could never really emulate it enough, so I got a mac. But props to the people who are doing such a great job, if anything this promotes OS X and is more likely to get people intrigued with macs. And remember, most of us mac guys have a windows computer around, and I'm excited to be able to make it at least more mac-like, it of course will never be perfect.

So enough of the nitpicking, realize that computing is also a hobby, and people like to have fun with it.

Keep on themeing

HAHAHA you like Arial? POW there goes your credibility out the window. No one who knows anything about fonts should give an ounce of support for that font.
and that desktop looks super crappy just like the eyestrain-fest cleartype� system.

I wasnt using cleartype. As for credibility; you have none with your windows bashing remarks, so once again: take a hike.

Why would you visit a thread just to bash people anyways? Dont you have a life?


Oh, and arial is a clean system font, why wouldnt I like it?

It's just not the font type, but the rendering.

Not sure if the poster is implying they are running OS X under Pear PC, but one thing I like form the about page:
Due to the nature of emulation, PearPC is quite slow (the client will run about 500 times slower than the host).
Ouch.
