Thoughts on Creating A Mac Dark Theme

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi,

 

Yes I'm asking about the possibilities of Skin Studio again... I just felt like I needed to post this here. I have an urge to go ahead and try to create or modify my first theme but due to overwhelming frustration and simply putting it off for now I haven't done so. I am a huge fan of the Apple aesthetic. There are some pretty good Mac themes on Wincustomize such as Mac OS X Ultimate and the default El Capitan theme already installed. There haven't been any dark ones yet, and seeing the awesome Mac OS Mojave previews and the fact that the Linux community has already made one, it fustrates me even more. I love dark themes and I don't want to switch to Linux. I'm thinking about giving another shot. What do you guys think? And as always thanks for taking the time to read this. :)

Why don't you just buy a Mac?

Good question, I don't because I have invested a ton of $ on software that is Windows only, and games that are also Windows only, and I'm also not willing to pay the overpriced amount of Apple's products. Overall I just like the design of the OS itself and have always enjoyed making the OS I have look like different ones.

I actually kinda like it, it has that older Mac OS feel to it. I'll give it as try, thanks!

What we have is two different OS eco-systems and there probably isn't a complete importation of the Apple eco-system to Windows.  As much as they are similar they aren't exactly alike.... different controls for different actions, and skinners may not be able to marry the two systems 100% successfully.  There are some Apple based themes here at WC, however, and you may find something to suit your tastes.
