The finder program wont work on my computer. Can it run on vista?
GreatSage in reply to GreatSageAug 10, 2009. 7:12 PM
Ok, nvm. I found another way to make a finder.

RKlauncher is much better than rocket dock, and it comes with a lot of leopard themed reflective icons, so the dock looks much more realistic.

I like the settings in rocket dock better than RKlauncher, and you can always download icons off the internet. this is rocket dock with with some new icons and a new theme

you can use icons, themes, and docklets you download for rocket dock with any dock application. I know, because I've used and made themes that work on both.

I know

Also, there is leftsider, which puts the close, minimize, and maximize buttons on the left side of the window, like in macs
steven93 (author) in reply to ben_kMar 13, 2009. 3:16 PM
It looks nice, but it has issues, if you really want a good leftsider use true transparency with the leopardxp theme you can find them here http://www.osx-e.com/

Looks like if you just type in the main URL http://landvermesser.tripod.com/, then you can select each item for download. You may want to update your instructable so more people like me don't get confused. :)

Every download link beginning with http://landvermesser.tripod.com doesn't work. I get a page stating "This file is hosted by Tripod, a Lycos®Network Site, and is not available for download.
