[request] Mac OS X style dialog box effects

I have noticed that there are many programs that can modify your windows look and fell to almost mimick the Mac OS X aqua interface. However the keyword is "almost". Most of the customizations are cosmetic. I would love to see a couple of actual enhancements to the funcionality of windows. For instance I would love to get the same sheet style dialog box windows (in Mac OS X) that pop down from the menu bar adapted to the windows environment. It would also be cool to have the same swapping effect (I dont know how else to describe it) when you switch tasks (applications). I know Windowfx does some of the visual effects but not the really important ones like I described above. I hope perhaps Windowfx will be updated soon and maybe include more features that could bring us closer to "aquafying our Windows desktops":-)

If anyone knows of any applications that might be able to duplicate these effects, let me know.

Thanks.

If guessed your "swapping effect" correctly, have a look at Sinapse by siwu here at these forums. There are also a few payware programs that mimick Expose's switch functions.

If I'm not wrong, I know only the Mozilla applications (Firefox and Thunderbird) can do this, but not in Open / Sava As dialog, but in Customize toolbars.

Thats precisely what I needed for the task switching! Awesome. Now if I could just get the "sheet window" effect, I will have my ultimate desktop:-)
