All the things I'm going to use are freely available on the Internet, and you can find all the links in the description below this video. Before you start changing the appearance of your operating system, you need to create a restore point. This will enable you to roll everything back if something goes wrong or you don't like the final look of your Windows. Select the system drive and click Configure. In the window that opens, turn on System Protection and allocate disk space for a restore point. Apply. Okay. Going back to the previous window, click Create, choose a name, create, wait until the process is over, and now the restore point is created. After that, hide desktop icons, right-click on the desktop, view, and uncheck the option Show Desktop Icons. After that, download a utility called SecureUXTheme.

This zip archive contains a collection of utilities and graphics components for further configuration. They all come in one package to save you the trouble of having to look for each of them. I'll leave direct links to the web resources under the video if it's necessary for you. Extract the archive contents into the same folder. For starters, let's add macOS icons. To do that, open the first folder and run this file – 7-step GUI as administrator. First of all, let's install icons for the light theme. Click Add a custom pack here and give the path to this file. After that, choose Start patching and hit Yes. Wait for the end of installation and agree to reboot. When the operating system boots again, you'll see enough notifications saying that the system has been patched and click OK. Opening the File Explorer, you will notice that all the icons have changed. You can want to download a utility called Start All Back. It brings the classic Windows 7 style menu for the Start button in your Windows 11. Download and install the utility. At this stage, select Install for me. In the window that opens, choose these settings. Select the first option, then jump to the Explorer tab and choose Win 7 command bar. Uncheck the boxes for Mika Effect on top and Classic Search box. Then open the Advanced tab and Adjust transparency. Then close the utility. Now, you need to move the taskbar to the top of the screen. Unlock it and drag it upwards while holding down the left mouse button. Right-click on the taskbar and open its properties. Then change the icon size to S. Another utility to be installed is Left Sider. It is a simple tool created to move the Window Control buttons to the left side of the window. Go to your Downloads folder and open the folder you have previously extracted from the archive. Select this folder containing the utility your system drives root directory. Open the folder and send the program's shortcut to the desktop. Right-click on the Start menu and select Run. Then type the following command Shell startup and click OK. Move the shortcut from the desktop to the folder that opens and disable Display Desktop icons. Go to the folder containing the program and launch the application. Now the Window Control buttons will be displayed on the left. After setting, it deals with changing the cursor appearance. We are going to install Mac OS style cursors. Open the directory containing files from the ZebraCive and open the folder with the cursors. Right-click the file with the name install.inf and select Install. Then right-click on the desktop, open Personalize, Themes, MouseCursor. From this drop-down list, select the latest installed version. Click Apply, then Yes and OK. Now that you have changed the cursor, let's move on to the next folder containing icons with the name Big Sur. Copy the folder Big Sur Dog icons to the root folder of the system drive. After that, you'll need to download another tool called My Dog Finder. This is a comprehensive solution by Chinese software engineers that disguises most Windows desktop elements and adds the missing modules from Mac OS. The program source code is available on GitHub. Extract and copy it to the root directory of Drive C. Then go to My Dog directory and copy it to the root folder of the system drive. Go to this folder which is located on the system drive and run the file MyDog.exe. If you encounter an error, you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ from this folder and then run MyDog again. Let's add a light theme. Click on the taskbar and select Preferences and choose Light from the list. After that, go to Advanced Settings, scroll down to find Mac Dog and click OK twice. Open the settings again and check the box for Autostunt. Open Advanced, turn on Windows Borders to Prevent Blocking Windows. In the Monitor tab, you can add system indicators to the menu. That is, the CPU load, memory use, GPU temperature and hard disk space will be displayed. Also, there are many other settings that you can adjust to suit your needs. After you reboot, your Windows desktop will look as if you are using a computer with macOS. One of the downsides of using Launchpad is that you have to add icons manually. To add an icon in Launchpad, right-click on the icon, choose Add icon, drag the icon to this window and click OK. To remove it, right-click on the icon and click Delete this icon. You can move folders and program shortcuts to the taskbar. To change your system appearance even more, let's add a clock widget on the main screen. You can do it with the RainMeter widget and a clock skin for it. Download and install RainMeter widget and blueish A Clock Skin for this widget from the DeviArt website. In the widget installer, uncheck the box next to Apply included layout and then click Install. Drag the folder onto the shortcut to copy it with the right pass. Alternatively, use this pass to copy the directory there. Start RainMeter, open the Layouts tab, click Refresh All, select macOS and click Load. After that, the clock will appear on the screen. You can move the widget around the screen and change its size by using the mouse wheel. The folder extracted from the archive also contains some macOS wallpapers. You can set them as a desktop background by right-clicking on one of them and choosing Set as Desktop Background. Here is another setting that lets you use Apple and Windows menus at the same time. When you left-click or right-click here, you can open the Apple menu or the Windows menu. Left-click for Apple and right-click for Windows. If you want to cancel the new appearing settings, just go back to the latest restore point. To do that, open Start Settings, System, About, System Protection, System Restore. Then click Next, choose a restore point from the list, Next, Finish and then Yes to start the system restore process. Files and settings will be prepared for restore operations and after the reboot your computer will be back to its original state. If some settings haven't changed yet, remove all the folders that have been copied in the process of configuration and all the additional programs. To change the icons, open the folder from the extracted archive and launch 7-step GUI. Click Restore, OK and Yes. When this process is over, the icons will change. To cancel the changes in the system's appearance without using System Restore feature, do the following. Right-click on the taskbar, Preferences, uncheck the box for Auto Start at Boot, and then close MyDoc by clicking on End the program. Resize the taskbar and drag it back to the bottom of the screen. Then go on to Uninstall Applications. Find Start all back on the list and delete it. And do the same to ReignMeter. Now let's change folder icons. Open 7-step, in the window that appears click Restore, OK and restart the operating system. After that, delete left-sided. Open the Run window, use the command Shell startup and remove the program's shortcut. Now open ThemeTool, check Hook System Settings and Hook Log on UI and click Uninstall. Delete the program from the disk. Shut the computer and go to Drive-C to remove all the remaining folders which you have copied before in the course of configuration process. Remove the corresponding folder from downloads. Then follow this path. See Windows, Resources, Themes and delete macOS themes from this folder. As you could see, the system appearance after all configuration steps looks exactly like macOS. If you work with macOS most of the time and you seldom have to use Windows, feel free to install MyDoc Finder and other tools to find your way in another operating system more effectively.
