HAHA... the day that Aqua is fully available in another OS than OSX will be the day that hell freezes over. Same as Aero or Luna outside of Windows ^^. There are plenty of OSX mockups out there with docks and junk, but most of them are junk. XFCE4 is good, and I think you'll like it. For the rest, just google.. millions of people before you have asked similar questions and you have to find out what suits your fancy the most. Cheers, -Garrett
