Well if you have shapeshifter installed, then just double click the Jaguar.theme or whatever it's called...

I can't remember . . . that was ages ago! I'll have to look it up again. IIRC, it was from
when I was experimenting with some Mac OS X style UI enhancements on Windows XP.

Well here is a screenshot of my Ubuntu Linux "Breezy" Desktop. It's pretty default except that I'm using Windows Fonts (they look much better than the Linux ones) and you can see on the taskbar a few apps that aren't installed by default. On the taskbar are Terminal, iTunes, another Terminal, X-Chat, Galeon and GAIM. The icons on the top taskbar are Galeon, Evolution (email), Microsoft Word 97 (i couldn't get a better icon for it), Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Academy, the GNOME Terminal and a "Shut up GAIM" icon, which simply kills all current sox processes (under Linux, you can only hear one sound at a time. If i'm playing and i return, or if i listen to music for too long, without this icon i'll be stuck forever listening to GAIM's sounds). On the Desktop you can see that iTunes is running (to run iTunes under Linux I used CodeWeavers' Crossover Office; and iTunes runs really well for a wine application [as long as you don't try to maximize it; then it will go crazy])

Here's a screenshot of Mac OS 7.5.3 running under Basilisk II JIT, under Linux. Installed to give the "Aqua" look are: Appearance Manager (for 3d "OS8/9" look) and Kaleidoscope (with Aqua III scheme).

I also have a similar scheme using Kaleidoscope on my Mac Mini, on the Classic Environment for Mac OS X, which makes classic apps blend in with the rest of the desktop (see here, where Outlook Express is a Classic App, and yet, it looks just like an Aqua app.)

Newest Desktop

I may never take this one down.

3 Things I love about this picture:

1. It's black and white

2. It's Christina Ricci

3. It looks remarkably like my wife

Nice picture, and you must have a beautiful wife.

Now, basic question, who is Christina Ricci? (I guess I only know The Carlson Twins :-D )
