Best looking Windows Band-Aid I've ever seen!

For those who like windows, this is a great aesthetic upgrade . . .
But its like make-up on a pig for those who don't . . . :)

I've never understood why anyone who doesn't like windows would actually choose to run it.
This basically allows those who think that windows is the best choice but don't want to admit it, to feel better about themselves.
There are enough other fashionable choices for the modern microsoft hater to mean that you would never have to run windows.

Very convincing, but if you can get it to Guru every few application runs it'll be even more realistic!

Perhaps because, shock horror, they want/need the software that runs on it.
Since when is pragmatism a bad thing.

I don't know I think that if you HAVE to use windows, at least you can make it easier on the eyes. Its disgustingly ugly unless you skin it with windowblinds or something like this.
And YES some of us need to use windows for work. I use linux most of the time at home but some things still require dual boot or windowsxp in virtualbox.

Some people have no choice other than Windows, even if they despise it. That being said, Win 7 is not terribly painful to use, easily the most pleasant and stable version of Windows I've run thus far. I couldn't do my job without a Windows PC - some of the software the job requires is Windows only.

Thanks for sharing this awesome package! /cheers

I run my GNOME desktop with the OS4 window borders and Ken's Icons.
-
great! ;)

New version 1.1 available. Get it here: http://www.jellybeanstyling.com
Many new icons added!

http://www.jellybeanstyling.com/amigaconversionkit.html Separated all the parts into links to archives so that it isn't required to download to whole package at once. Added more pieces and links to other interesting items. If you like this package, please donate to AROS!

That was my point.
If you make the choice that windows is the best choice because you need to run it for the software it has then why bother bashing it?
The person who switched to using AmigaOS permanently (which I did until the year 2000) or anyone who runs MacOS, Linux etc have made their choice & I can accept that they can make jibes about Windows (and people can make jibes about MacOS/Linux etc, AmigaOS is off limits :-) ).
Windows 2000 onwards has been stable enough & had enough hardware/software support that I couldn't justify sticking with AmigaOS though. At this point I can't really criticise it, without criticising my own decision.
If you hate microsoft & windows that much there is always Wine or a rootless VM. Or have the haters become lazy?

Installed the icons fine then the theme patcher, un-archived the theme and then when I tried to use it I got this error. Any ideas?
