sonnguyen2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hi guys, Does anyone knows how can I get finder cover flow work on Windows? That's one of the most interesting feature on Mac. Thanks in advance. ---Updated 20 Apr, purpose: add attachment Thanks to SticMac, we now have the first candidate (it sucks but not too bad as the first one) FingerXP.rar Also, if you're looking for a Expose' enhancement on Windows, try this: (works well on Win7 too) Switcher_2.0.0.2705.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 It's quite easy!! First you need to install VMWare on WinBlows, then you create a virtual disk for MacOS, then you install MacOS on the virtual disk, load all your kexts and patches and.......... VIOLA!! Now you have CoverFlow in Winblows!! SticMAC Hi guys, Does anyone knows how can I get finder cover flow work on Windows? That's one of the most interesting feature on Mac. Thanks in advance.

sonnguyen2009 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Sorry, I don't expect that answer. Anyone? Btw, can I install Finder 10.5 on Windows? Thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance, You can't just take any part of an OS and put it inside another. So no, you can't actually "install" any of OS X's parts into windows.You can, however, try to find some type of third-party application that may look like the finder and install that onto windows.

Hi Hecker, thank you for your information. That's exactly why I came here for: to find a Windows utility that mimics the cover flow features. Btw again, since Mac and Linux is a little bit related, can I install finder 10.5 in a Linux distro? I'm using Fedora and Sabayon. A small pluggin for nautilus could do too.

You come from the X Dev group, rite? So please take my question as a suggestion for your coding. People love that feature. I repeat the purpose for this thread: Is there any window explorer pluggin that benefits the cover flow invention? Thanks a lot, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SticMAC™ Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 This time I REALLY found you a Coverflow App for WinBlows!!!
