Hi guys! I'm customizing windows to look like mac panther until i get my fab new ibook!! Those of you who are more knowledgable on apple computers may know that the control key is replaced by command, the alt replaced by option and the winkey replaced by the apple key i think. On my winxp menus it says stuff like Ctrl+D and such. My question is, is there a fairly easy way to change it to display the command symbol like on a mac?

No. But not impossible I'd think. Theoreticly you could hack the menues to use a different character in your own font that includes the symbol. But that would involve hacking every program and it's not a desired method.

Cheers for responding m8. Now I've moved off mac skins and i'm just assembling an assortment of stuff now. Since theres only that hard way to do it and i'm off mac skinning, I'll leave it.
