MacLook problem with version 5

I have wanted a mac like option for a while now. I had installed windowblinds in the hope of doing so, but while it came close, did not do the trick, so today I installed version 5 and saw that option and thought YEAH!, but alas probelms arose.

I get the cions to change but the window buttons do not which is what I mostly want it for so windows buttons and mac buttons are on same side of window. I thought that maybe windowblinds was the problem so I uninstalled that and then reinstalled Parallel Tools but still no good, it looks like its going back to classic mode.

If it is indeed a theme can those files be downloaded?

Hi Everyone,

I seem to be having a number of problems caused by "MacLook" on my Windows Vista Ultimate x64 BootCamp VM. The first time I tired to use "MacLook", it hung the VM, and I was forced to reset it. I booted into safe mode and did a disk scan, and then let it boot normally. When I got back into the VM, I noticed that the Outlook icon on my start menu was blank, and clicking on the link brought up a "file not found" error message. So, I restored the missing registry settings, and tired to enable MacLook again. This time, it loaded, but did not seem to work. When I restored the default Vista theme, both the Outlook icon from the Start Menu and the "Flip3D" icon from the quick launch area were gone. It seems that the Windows Blinds component of PD 5, is screwing up the Windows Registry. Is there a picture somewhere that shows what the VM is supposed to look like if MacLook was working? Despite the registry issues, I don't think it was working anyway. Thanks!

MacLook does not install on Windows 2008 R2 either, but if you snaffle the mycolors installation from the temp when you install Parallels Tools, it then works fine.
