MenuBarFilter Gives an iOS-like Dark Menu Bar to Your Mac OS X
Do you enjoy the beautiful dark menu bar on your iPhone or iPad? Thanks to a tiny free software called MenuBarFilter you can easily turn your Mac OS X menu bar into a dark, iOS-Like one.
While this is not the only way to get a dark menu bar for Mac OS X (you can find another workaround in this GeekTool Tutorial), the good point about this Nocturne based software is that with a single click it inverts the colors of menu bar and the including widget icons to give a shiny look to your desktop. There are currently some minor issues with this software which hopefully should be solved with a new update; for example if you are running Mac OS X Lion, it might not always work perfectly in full screen apps. Also there is no way to quit the software rather than going to Activity Monitor and manually quit it from there.
Very beautiful design, reminiscent of Apple interfaces, based on a few fairly simple elements. The theme is used here as the window designSweetness, while the system icons are based on the macpac set. As for widgets on the desktop, this is a set for Rainmeter, which you can download on this page. Included: volume and brightness control, a simple clock and calendar, as well as icons for quick access, a music player and buttons in the form of icons for opening applications. Rainmeter Clock Skins. 356 Recently added Clock Skins and Widgets for Rainmeter. Windows 10 Clock. Rainmeter For Mac Os 10.13. Rainmeter is designed for YOUR system. Rainmeter uses very little CPU and RAM resources, has a tiny space footprint, and will run perfectly well on any hardware using Windows XP through Windows 8. Download wine for mac yosemite.

Want to turn your MacBook or Mac desktop into an iPad? Yes it’s practically not possible because you won’t get the touch screen, but by using Flurry icon set you can bring the simplicity of an iPad to your desktop.In the above desktop customized by Ace Convict the Finder is disguised as Safari and the Trash is disguised as the iOS App Store (may look weird though!).He used Nocturne menubar for the top dark menu of his MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Lion. Other simple tweaks used were enlarging the dock and organizing the desktop icons on a grid.
