Download Mac OS X “Mountain Lion” Look-Like Login Screen for Windows 7

Transforming Windows look into Mac OS is one of the most favorite tasks of all customization lovers. I know many people who love to convert each and everything in their Windows OS to look-like Mac OS whether its Windows theme, icons, boot screen, eye candy effects or wallpapers.

We have shared a few Mac OS transformation packs in past to make Windows OS look-like Mac OS, you can find them in our Themes and Wallpapers section. These transformation packs automatically modify system files to change Windows UI and to make it look-like Mac OS.

But there are many people who don’t prefer these 3rd party transformation packs. They want to change thing manually rather than depending upon skin packs. That’s why we have shared a Mac theme for Windows 7 in past which can be downloaded using this link.

  1. So far, this is most descent Mac Login for Windows. Ever since, achieving the Mac UI in Windows, is the most addictive one 🙂

    i beg u

  3. after I replaced those 2 files, my Win 7 wont be able to start up

    it will just stucked in a black screen with a mouse Cursor

  4. @heeroyuyi
    32 bit version is used by myself and 64 bit version is tested by a very well known member of Deviantart. So if you have the correct version of Windows 7 this shouldn’t happen to you. This doesn’t work on Windows 7 without servicepack. I think you used the wrong version of files. Be sure to use 32 bit files for a 32 bit system and same for 64 bit systems.

  5. I have SP1 installed

    I replaced both “authui.dll” in System32 and SysWOW64, is this the reason?

    mean while, I didn’t find basebrd.dll in System32 and SysWOW64, is it shipped with win7?

  6. i liked it but dont u got something that can change my BOOT SCREEN to that of mac os..

  7. VG Its better to use genuine Mac OS X on PC. Here I am giving some instructions to install Retail OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion on PCs. You can try-
    Unibeast+Multibeast (Requires a retail OS X DVD or Installesd.dmg or Mountain Lion.app)
    iAtkos ML2 (Pre modified OS X Mountain Lion for PCs) requires a dual layer DVD
    Niresh OS X 10.8.2 : Niresh works both on intel and amd and atom.
    All are working and tested methods.
