Aqua-Soft ForumsYOU MUST INSTALL THE SUPPLIED FONTS OR THE TABS WILL NOT SKIN CORRECTLY
If windows won't let you delete the old Lucida Grande, switch your style to Windows Classic, then bring up task manager and end any application that may have been using the Lucida font (including Firewalls etc). After deleting, simply DRAG the Lucida Grande from from the Puma\fonts directory into the Fonts window. Load any variant via the themes and you're away 
To test to see if you have the right fonts installed, bring up the Display Properties box, and there should only be one line of tab headers,, no more.

About
Puma is a professional style that contains 4 colour variations, Puma, Professional, Snow and Gun Metal.
Each colour has its own:
- Shellstyle
- MobyDock
- Yz Dock
- Object Desktop Dock
- 5 Wallpapers to suit all themes (I only added the shadow)
- OSX4XP Cursor set
Install recommendations
- Extract zip contents to '\Windows\Resources\Themes', using folder names.
- Make sure you select the desired theme via Display Properties -> Themes.
This will automatically load the matching wallpaper and cursor set. Handy
- Use Classic view for explorer windows for more accurate OSX emulation
(Tools -> Folder Options -> [Check] Use Windows Classic folders)
- Use the BLACK cursor scheme
(Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointers [Combo] Scheme: Windows Black)
- Large icons
- Install fonts
(drag them from '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\fonts' into your '\Windows\Fonts' directory)
- Use Mac-like font smoothing (much nicer on the eye)
(Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use the following....screen fonts
-> [Combo] ClearType)
- Use large icons
(Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> [Tick] Use Large Icons)
- Extract the MobyDock skin folders into
(copy and paste folders under '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\MobyDock' into your '\Program Files\MobyDock\dockconfig\Skins' directory)
IMPORTANT: Known Issues
- When using 'No Border' styles, caption bars on dialog boxes (e.g. Display Settings panel) are
1 pixel too short either side. This does not happen on explorer windows (which is what you view
99% of the time - hence no real problem). Why this happens os beyond me (atm, anyway).
- When you select the desired theme via Display -> Themes, the Link Select cursor (the Hand)
will not load. This is apparent in all themes and has to be loaded manually via
Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointers. Select Link Select (at bottom of list), change and point
to '\Windows\Resources\Themes\Puma\OSX4XP\Link Select.cur'
- Sometimes when appying a theme, e.g. [Puma] Pro No Border (by far the best!), the shadow on
the wallpaper is far too large. Simply right click on the taskbar and select Lock / Unlock taskbar
and it will sort itself out.
