How To Transform Windows 7 Into Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
Earlier, we’ve covered an extraordinarily stylish Snow Transformation Pack which transforms Windows 7 into Mac Snow Leopard. As Snow Leopard becomes a thing of the past and Lion takes over the Mac kingdom, we now bring you the Lion Skin Pack for both Windows 7. It is an extremely easy to install Mac UI theme, which transforms the look of your Windows 7 into a Mac OS X Lion desktop. It does not require any theme patching software and can be installed via a simple executable file. It can be quite handy for die hard Mac lovers who require using Windows for some reason (e.g. at office), or Windows users who wish to bring the Mac style to their desktop.
Note: Please bear in mind that such transformation packs are difficult to uninstall and often a system restore point will not revert the changes. Before installing the Lion Skin Pack, make sure that you backup your computer to revert the changes (if required). Moreover, make sure that UAC (User Account Control) is disabled.
When installing the transformation pack, you will be presented with the option to install the UXTheme Patch, files and extra items (e.g. wallpaper, visual styles, etc). You may select all or some of these options to continue. For example, you may not be interested in installing a screensaver, wallpaper, etc from the pack. To uncheck these items, expand the options to deselect items from the Files and Extras options. Click on Install to begin the installation process.
After the installation is completed, reboot your system for the changes to take effect.
Once the system is rebooted, your system will get the complete Mac OS X Lion user interface look.
That’s all you need to do to make your Windows 7 look like Mac OS X Lion.

How do we change it back?
When you advertise a download, there is usually a download link. Where is it? I give up!
Yeah it’s pretty bogus there’s at least three of these articles from this site with zero working links.
Windows 7 = Rs 10000/-
Mac = Rs 2500/- or 29$ choose wise
jago grahak jago
got virus or not?
WINDOWS is a WINDOWS…………MAC is a MAC
can you add apps for macs like candybar etc..?
do you uninstall it like a regular program?
Is this still working? Is this skin will not harm my windows applications or the like?
Thanks. 🙂
this does NOT work on windows 8!!! It messed up my computer:(
does this keep all your ms software, vm ware?
so many haters ~~ thanks for the skin !
I love how every one of these skin pack things is turned into an OS argument.
Nice tutorial. This can definitely add some fun to our computing experience.
if i install this will the os x lion be on my other users??
This is why you buy mac for 30 bucks and put it on your PC problem solved not everybody is that smart but therre is somone who is
Not happening
Get smart and go linux
all you idoits that say
“Go buy a mac already”
My Freaking ALIENWARE is tripile as good as my friends mac and 500 DOLLARS LESS EXPESIVE
My other lap top is just as good as the macbook air. but the macbook air is $900 such a shame
THANK YOU
Windows 7 is muchh better than Mac. I installed windows 7 on mac after realising that lion os was for babies… entertainment is not everyhing.
Except for the glaring security issues and file lock outs, yeah Microsoft is the people’s champ! Naaahhhhh… it’s neither of those two pompous, feuding families.
LINUX WILL NEVER DIEEEE!!

When will all of you “mac lovers” finally decide to leave this post alone? Seriously, it gives you all a bad name. Knock it off.
It can be quite handy for die hard Mac lovers who require using Windows
for some reason (e.g. at office), or Windows users who wish to bring the
Mac style to their desktop.
Can I change it back? Please can I get a quick response.
This sucks
Agreed
Haha, that’s quite interesting!
HI,
Its great, users can transform Windows 7 Into Mac OS X 10.7 Lion but I don’t think so This method no longer works.
Thanks
wow wonderful…..
i just want to have a try about mac os.
not for 3X the cost of a comparable windows based laptop
It’s like the freaking hotel california, you can check out anytime you like but you can freaking never leave!
hahahahahhahahhahahhaah
Umar, be prepared as you can never go back. It’s (almost) the apple way.

this deviation has been removed because of art theft. go figure.
I can buy 2 windows PCs for the same price of 1 Mac…with the exact same hardware. I’ll pass. Steep price for a novelty computer.
Perhaps, but the time you use mucking about trying to keep them running, I use to produce produce for my customers and enjoyable down-time for myself. But if your hobby is to fiddle with hardware – or if you’re a constant tweaker; then by all means stick with your commodity hardware.
I know what you mean mac is nice but too overpriced
That’s really sad, seriously …. just buy a Mac already!
Okay, gimme the money for it, then I’ll try your idea.
Mac OS is not for professionals. Period. Apple makes amazing hardware, but their OS is only capable of “dragging your pictures into iPhoto with 4 fingers or 1 pinky finger”. I run Windows on a mac pro and it works awesome
It pains me to read such posts. Anyone with even a modicum of experience developing on any unix platform would instantly know you write from a position of utter ignorance. Me thinks you need to return to uni – ASAP.
For those of you with an open mind and/or experience on one or more of the mulitude of *nix OSes – developing on the BSD-based OS that is OS X is easy. I’ve been doing it for over a decade: C, C++, C#, JVM languages, LISP languages, Perl, *Python, etc. About the only thing I’ve not tried, and likely does not work, is .Net or VB – if you dev. using either of those “languages”, you have my sincerest sympathies.
I have a PC running Windows 7 and my daughter has an iMac
in some aspects I like the Mac OS and in some I like Windows 7
It seems to me that things are more obvious and common sense in Windows
Microsoft has always made an effort in this direction.
Mac has its own way of working and you have to learn it and that’s it.
Same kind of mentality like Adobe.
What I like about Mac OS is the common menu for all software at the top. I think this is a brilliant idea. Also, historically, Macs hardly ever crash. Windows is much less stable, although Windows 7 is a big step forward in this respect.
Now, regarding a Mac OS “mask” into my Windows 7, could be useful when friends of mine come over and they were used to Mac OS user interface, while I can still use the Windows 7.
I have tried a Leopard transformer and uninstalled it after one single problem that happened. I cannot tolerate instability.
I’m hesitating to install this one, but will see what people who tried it say.
I was hoping to see this kind of feedback here. 🙁
you can even install an original mac and dual boot …then you can choose whenever you want to use 7 or mac anytime!!!
some hardware will not working. ex: soundcard,wirelesscard
hate that to all the muilti junk
cant remember if its two finger lide left to open my dashboard or 1 finger one thump and the pinky to scroll up
go figure
lol apple lol
Anything to do with Microsoft sucks
Have you ever used it?
