XP To Leopard Tutorial

This Topic is exclusively made for em0nx Users its picked from somewhere while arrangements are done by me.

First Thing You will Require is

FlyakiteOSX:

"FlyakiteOSX" is a program that will transform your "XP" into a "MAC OSX".
(NOTE: ONLY FOR SP2)
(NOTE: recommended to be done in safe mode)
(NOTE: won't give you perfection)
(NOTE: NOT fully reversible!)
(NOTE: Backup system files before installation)

How To Install :

- Download the installation file from [link]
- Run the installation file and proceed with "Next >"
- Now tick everything, but avoid ticking the "Logon Screen" :IMPORTANT:
- Proceed on to "backup the current system files" and then installing "FlyakiteOSX"
- Reboot the system. DONE INSTALLING "FlyakiteOSX". (You might notice some changes done to your system!)

THEMES :

Window Blinds :

- Leopard Glass 3 [link] by ~neodesktop (Leopard)

(NOTE: a WB skin already is provided with "FlyakiteOSX" but i donot really like it!)
