Sadly it's put together piecewise after nearly an entire day of searching, downloading and fiddling about.

StyleXP Got me the apple panther toolbar style at the top and background image and log in screen
ObjectDock (also ObjectDesktop but I didn't like it) got me the dock at the bottom of the screen, had to find a separate skin to make it look like tiger
YzShadow puts shadows underneath taskbar and around windows and documents
YzToolbar to skin explorer a bit so it looks like mac navigation
and searching for a whole lot of icons for the stuff on my desktop

(edit: oh, it's probably pretty big. If you catch me on TS sometime I can try setting up an ftp for you. For some reason I remember it fucking up last time we tried.)
