Ice Cream Sandwich adds some delicious upgrades,.Here is a theme that would help you transform your Windows 7 PC into an Android like PC. Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich is an unifies operatingsystem .
After months of waiting, the Galaxy Nexus (and by extension, Android 4.0, aka “Ice Cream Sandwich”) is finally here. We’ve already done an extensive review of the hardware, so here we will be looking much more closely at Ice Cream Sandwich. Whether you are an Android veteran or a smartphone first-timer, this new version of Google’s mobile operating system has a few things you should know about before getting started.
It’s actually a theme developed by Flickr user David Molina.Their are many things which do not match with the rela Android ICS UI but still,it will give you the Android ICS feeling.
Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) is the biggest update to Android since the OS launched, and the changes are pretty significant. They aren’t too dramatic for people used to Android, but people new to the OS may have some difficulties starting out. While Android 2.x was perhaps not the easiest OS to master, once you got the hang of it, it was rather straightforward. ICS, on the other hand, was designed to be easier to use, but even long-standing Android users will have to spend some time learning its ins and outs.
Here’s one issue: Not all icons are clearly labeled, so it can be difficult to know what a button does in a particular app. The new Calendar app, for instance, has a small unlabeled square (it looks like a small calendar) that takes you to the present date. Other than pressing the button, you have no visual cues to tell you what that icon actually does. This isn’t the same Android that we’ve all come to know, but rather a new OS that carries on the Android legacy.
If you are an Android fan, and want that beautiful ICS look on your desktop machine, then the world wide web has you covered. Thanks to Flickr member, David Molina, the Windows 7-owning world can now enjoy the aesthetic delights which the latest version of Android has to offer, displayed on a much larger screen. Unfortunately, to achieve this desktop glory, it isn’t simply a case of pressing a few buttons and you are up and running. The ICS desktop will take some time to recreate and requires quite an extensive list of components to be running in tandem to get the necessary look and feel. If you think you are up to the task, then carry on reading for the requirements.
