GOOGLE ANDROID fans will be pleased to know they can now overhaul the look of Windows 7 to match their favoured mobile phone operating system (OS).
Flickr user "9davidandreas" has posted a picture of his Android flavour desktop modification. The machine is still running Windows behind the scenes but has the look of Google's Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) user interface.
The adaptation is made up of lots of different parts rather than just installing one piece of software. Thanks to Lifehacker, all of the components are easily downloadable so you can actually pick and choose the bits you do and don't want.
A good place to start is the desktop wallpaper, which can be found at Wallbase. Next you'll want a new theme for Windows 7 called Appows 2010 from Deviantart. The ICS icons are a must have from Droidpirate and can be added to the dock seen in the screenshot from Rocketdock.
Android ICS has a new font called Roboto, which you can get from Fontquirrel, another must have for the look.
The remainder of the look comes courtesy of Rainmeter, a system monitor and configuration tool. Adding the Minimal Bar, Lexis and Simplesentencethree skins to this gets you the time, date, weather and music sections looking like Android widgets.
Last but not least is the Google search bar, which surely has to feature in a proper recreation of the Android 4.0 ICS interface. µ
