Not sure; however, it's pretty pathetic to copy like that to say the least...

Stardock isn't copying Apple - Stardock is copying YzDock.

Just peruse wincustomize for all of the mac-like themes. Beleive it ot not a lot of PC people like the OSX interface and for whatever reason cannot or will not buy a mac, so they make there pc look like one instead.

Also Stardock has SO ripped off Dragthing in their ObjectDock Plus app. The tabs and even the wording is the same in some cases. Like "Apply this to all layers"

Let them copy- it will lead them to their doom. muahhhahahahahaaahha - Let's get 'em all, now while we got the muscle!
