Turn Windows 8 into Mac OS X Yosemite

Apple just announced the new version of Mac OS X called Yosemite which features better integration with iOS8 and several interface modifications such as new icons. It did not take long for someone to create a total conversion package for Windows. Using it you can change the theme of Windows that you are currently running to Mac OS X Yosemite.

Note: It is highly recommended to back up the system before you apply the theme as it will make modifications to the system. If things go wrong, you can restore the backup. We did not notice any issues installing the theme on a Windows 8.1 Update 1 system but that does not mean that you won't So, better safe than sorry. At the very least, create a system restore point.
Installation of the package is actually pretty easy

1. Download the right package for your system from the authors website. There is one universal version for Windows XP and newer, and one special edition that is only for Windows 7 and newer.
2. Rename the .zip_ extension to .zip and extract the contents of the 50 Megabyte file on your system.
3. Run the installer afterwards with elevated privileges. Right-click the file and select Run as administrator from the context menu.
4. A configuration page is displayed. One thing that you may want to do here is to disable the "make WindowsxLive the homepage" option in the lower left corner.

You can configure various features on the page that will be applied during installation. Among them are the following options:

• Use the system font configuration or select three alternatives.
• Enable or disable the dock and auto-hide.
• Select which taskbar you want. You can select system default here if you want to use the Windows taskbar.
• Enable the Start Orb.
• Enable left side OS X caption button style.
• Enable OS  X Yosemite frame UI (not compatible with AERO).
• Enable Spaces (Ctrl-Alt-Arrow).
• Dasboard (F12 to display or scroll to bottom left corner).
• Enable Launchpad.
• Activate hot screen corners for dashboard and launchpad.
• Once you have made your selection here -- and unchecked the homepage change -- you can hit install to apply the theme. The installation takes less than a minute to complete, a restart was not required on Windows 8. This is how it looks like if you install the Mac theme on Windows 8 using the default configuration.

We did not notice any issues using the theme. While some features lead to Windows programs instead of the ones mentioned by the theme -- a click on Safari for instance opens the default system browser instead -- it resembles the new Mac interface.
