I got the window buttons to face the left using a program called "Appleminmax" because I'm too lazy to get Transparency atm.
Toolbar is styler toolbar, I don't remember were I got the theme, all I know is it's from deviantart
The tabs are part of the toolbar theme btw.

I ask because I have never seen anything like that done to explorer before. Maybe it's easier on newer Windows, I don't know, I'm still on XP...

Anyway, good work! smile

To help you avoid the lawyers...Apple is strict about the use of the look and feel of MacOS.  Remove/alter any logo that was "lifted" from MacOS and do something to not completely use the look and feel...for example...leave the buttons on the right side of the window by default and provide instructions on how to move them.

I second this. I suggest replacing any instance of an Apple logo with a LiteStep one.

The program used to move the window buttons around is not mine, just so you know. Plus alot of other Objectbar themes did worse then I have. The problem with the logo is the fact that I can't hand craft a icon,  I'd need someone else to make one for me. I don't use the Apple logo because I want to I use it because thats the only thing that works.
EDIT: heres a screen shot of current progress.

The litestep Icon in the about box was made by AHdesign91.
