Mac OS X has always been termed as more elegant than any other Operating System. If you are a fan of it, here’s a OS X Lion theme for Windows 7 developed by a DeviantART member, David Pieron. The theme packs several icons, utilities like the dock and a wallpaper to give your desktop a feel of Mac.
(Want more themes? Check out my list of 10 Cool Themes for Windows 7.)
The theme can be installed in two ways -
- Manually by replacing files and
- Automatic with a 1-Click installer.
Also, Windows 7 does not allow 3rd party themes to be installed by default. So you’ll have to patch the system files to do it. It’s very easy and check this post for a 3-steps tutorial.
Please note that you’ll need to install Custopack in order to use the 1-click installer. Grab both the windows 7 theme and Custopack below:

P.S.: If you’re looking for that blue aurora wallpaper in the screenshot above, get it here.
How to Uninstall it?
Uninstalling the theme is very easy. Simply right-click anywhere on your desktop and choose Personalize. You’ll get a list of themes that are available and few custom themes that you had made/used earlier. Choose anyone of them and your Mac theme will be disabled. For removing those start icons and other left-overs, restart your computer.
This should disable the theme completely. You may also uninstall Custopack afterwards.

The Theme is Virus Free (Proof)
I occasionally get comments from people who say there’s a virus included in the theme. Here are two online virus scan results:
- Jotti’s malware scan
- Virus Total report by Virustotal
The reports says it’s totally clean. So, people chill out and use the theme without any worries
Please note that I had to split the 31 MB file into two files as the max. file limit was 20 MB, the above link points to scan results of the first file (19 MB).

So if i install it and get bored after one month.. Is it possible to uninstall correctly without any problem?? I dont want to restore my system cause i got important files..
Don’t worry, it is just a theme and nothing else. Whenever you start feeling bored, right-click on the desktop and choose Personalize to get back the old theme or a new one.
well this theme din work on Win 7 Home premium.. Well what is the problem…..
I can’t guess of any reason why didn’t it work. I haven’t used this theme on Win7 Home.
Well so it was as it.. after having it downloaded only the Library ICON and other Icons changed but there was no change with the taskbar.. i have tried it on many other PSS’c but it works well and not only on Win 7 home Premium…
Weird. Ummm ok tell me, did you try the 1-click installer or manually replaced files instead?
well will that work on Win 7 professional….
If yes how I tried every way of installing it after downloading the pack with custo tools.. But the results were the same…
I have Win7 Ultimate and it works very well with it. There might be some problems with the other versions
Good one man!

Right-click on the dock and choose settings. You should get this option there.
