For those who love Macintosh and Apple Computers but for some reason are Windows users, this application can be a gift from heaven. For those who don’t know Macintosh, this application could be the beginning of a love story.
What Flyakite propose is to virtually convert your PC desktop based on Windows into a Mac OS X desktop, and it really accomplishes it. Too bad that it doesn’t convert the system core itself but this has a good size though, you don’t have to learn how to use a new operating system. You’re using your regular operating system, only it looks really nicer now.
If you want to feel how it works before downloading and installing this application you can do it from the official web site. When you enter the site, your web browser will become a virtual Mac desktop from where you can get information, help, resources, interesting and useful links and many other things. Of course, you also can access to download mirrors to get your absolutely free of charge and adware version of Flyakite, which is currently releasing its version 3.5.
Maybe the most remarkable feature of the software is the emulation of the exclusive Mac application dock, at the bottom of the desktop. It’s an animated bar from where you can access to the most used applications. The Windows bar, containing the famous Start button which now has become into an Apple button, is now placed on top of the desktop. The behavior of the bar is the same that in Windows – of course – but it totally changes its appearance.
Some complementary applications come within Flyakite to enhance the transformation experience, which in fact is amazing. Let’s know them:
• ÜberIcon: provides visual effects plug-ins like iZoom and iBounce.
• WinRoll: manages the behavior of windows and minimize, maximize and close buttons.
• Y’z shadow: provides visual effects and shadow effects for windows and dialog boxes.
• Tiger System preferences: to set up some configurations regarding Mac desktop.
The application works just fine and the conversion experience that provides is absolutely realistic, even for former Mac users. Besides the visual effects implied, the sound schemes that also are included complements the conversion. Even more, the welcome and closing screens are also modified to Mac style.
Flyakite 3.5 supports all languages supported by Windows including Asian languages, but some characteristics might be unsupported though. This awesome application is freeware licensed meaning you can access it and use it for free! If you’re satisfied with the experience feel free to make a donation on the official web site.
