Make Windows Unity windows look like Mac OS X Windows: WindowsBlinds with VMware Fusion

Chris White pinged us on Twitter the other day saying that he was using WindowsBlinds to skin his VMware Fusion Unity windows (Unity demo video here) in Windows look like Mac OS X windows.

We were intrigued, and asked him to take some screenshots to share with everyone.

Chris was nice enough to do so.

Here’s a shot of Internet Explorer with a Mac OS X WindowsBlinds skin on it.  The visual style is “Leo.”  Hmmmm…wonder what that stands for….?

Note how the “close” “minimize” and “maximize” buttons in the upper right of the window look like Mac OS X buttons:

And in a too-meta-moment, here’s a screenshot of the WindowsBlinds UI, which has itself been skinned!
