1
Add a real macOS-style dock
This is the single biggest visual change. A floating, magnifying dock instantly reads as “Mac.”
- Install Winstep Nexus (the free version is enough) and turn on its magnify and bounce effects for the closest macOS feel.
- Set it to auto-hide and position it bottom-center, matching macOS placement.
- Pin your most-used apps and remove the taskbar underneath, or auto-hide it.
2
Swap the icon set
Windows’ default icons are the fastest visual “tell” that it’s not macOS, so this is worth doing properly.
- Find a macOS-style icon pack (rounded, flat, consistent shadow direction).
- Apply it via a bulk icon changer rather than one-by-one, to keep everything consistent.
- Swap the cursor to a macOS-style arrow set for the full effect.
3
Get the typography and top bar right
macOS’s look leans heavily on San Francisco’s rounded, tight typography and a persistent top menu bar.
- Install a San Francisco-alike font (SF Pro or a close free alternative) system-wide.
- Add a top menu bar utility to mimic macOS’s global bar (clock, control center-style icons).
- Round your window corners with a theming tool for the final detail.
