An update of my Circles 2.1 pack, expanding it to 120 icons. It is now also available in 8 different colour schemes drawn from the Gaia09 project.

Making Windows look like MacOS

One key difference between Windows and MacOS systems is the font-smothing technique used by the different operating systems. Personally, I much prefer the look of fonts on MacOS systems with the smoother lines (though Microsoft's Clear Type is arguably better on 8pt and below fonts).

A handy little plugin for Windows called GDI++ makes Windows render it's fonts with the smooth lines of MacOS. Download it, unzip it, double click on GDItray.exe and you're off!

It will take some time to get used to it (a couple of hours), but once you are used to it, you will never switch it off.

Rocket Dock

Who likes eye-candy? Who likes that fancy zoom-in navigation bar thing on MacOS and wishes they had it on poor lowly Windoze? Well now you can!

This fancy bit of freeware makes your Quick Launch and Start Menu redundant, is easily configured, takes up next to no system resources, and will have all of your work colleagues wondering how you got MacOS onto your PC.
