How so? Windows supports many customization apps, and with a little tweaking, you can transform the Taskbar and File Explorer, add the Mac dock, and add the top bar to the desktop. Sounds interesting? In this post, you’ll learn how to change Windows 11’s appearance to look like MacOS quickly.
Requirements
You’ll need the following apps and packages to start the transformation:
Rainmeter ExplorerBlurMica MacOS Remastered and Montery Rainmeter skin from DeviantArt MacOS wallpapers
How to Get the macOS look in Windows 11 or 10
First, you must download all the packages on your PC. Thereafter, install the Rainmeter app and wait for it to apply the changes. Then, add widgets to your desktop. It’s not the look you want, especially in macOS design, so we’ll remove it. Right-click on any widget and then select the Unload skin option. Repeat this until you remove all four of them from the desktop. Then, right-click on the Taskbar and select the Taskbar settings option. Expand the Taskbar behavior section and select the Auto-hide taskbar option. Doing this will hide the default taskbar and make space for the macOS dock. Also, enable the Dark theme because it looks better with the macOS UI. Go to the Downloads folder and click on the MacOS Remastered.rar file. Extract it to get both skins and the macOS wallpaper. Right-click on the wallpaper and select the Set as desktop background option. Then, install the MacOS Remastered and Monterey skins. Now, you’ll see the macOS taskbar at the top. All of the options are clickable and will open relevant Windows settings. But that’s not all. We need to do more to get the complete look. Open Rainmeter from the system tray and click on the MacOS Remastered skin on the left side. Expand the Dock section and double-click on the Dock.ini file to apply it. Drag the dock to the bottom for a uniform look. Now, you’ll need to add widgets to the desktop. Reopen Rainmeter and double-click on the Settings.ini file under the Monterey skin section. It’ll launch the Settings page for the widgets. Switch to the Widgets section and click on a widget to add it to the desktop. You can drag the widget anywhere on the desktop. To resize the widget, right-click and select the Small, Medium, Large, or Wide option. You can also remove the widget from this right-click menu. Add a few widgets that are useful to you. We added the weather and notes widgets, but you can add more. The last thing on the list is making the File Explorer transparent like macOS. The ExplorerBlurMica will help you achieve this. You don’t need to do anything except install this package. Once done, you’ll get the transparent Mica effect in the File Explorer. Note that this is just surface-level tweaking to make Windows 11 look like macOS. You can get in deeper with the skin settings and adjust every tiny element’s position and appearance to your whim. Wrapping Up Getting the macOS look is easy, right? Make sure to set the Rainmeter app to start by default while installing it so your macOS skin loads as soon as you boot to the desktop.
