Make your Windows machine look more like a Mac

My work desktop

click the image to view the desktop with explanation

This is my work desktop. And no, it’s not a Mac. This is Windows XP with a few tweaks and utility tools to make it look Mac-like so I don’t have to mentally switch between work (WinXP) and home (MacOSX) setups.

What I’m using:

Mac-like toolbar: RKLauncher
Additional docklets for RKLauncher: DockEx
Icon hiding to eliminate distractions: IconDesk
Multiple desktop switching: VirtuaWin
Desktop background: I got these OSX-like images posted somewhere online but can’t remember now.

This is all freeware/open source software, so it doesn’t cost anything and they’re very lightweight small apps as well.

    Are you using the iFox theme for Firefox? There’s also a theme to make Thunderbird look like Mac Mail.
