Andrew Ambrosino has created a beautiful concept for Mac OS X that is inspired by iOS 7.

Ambrosino describes his concept by simply saying it "includes some good flatness, translucent blurs, and overall streamlining."

In the images below you can find a redesigned version of the Desktop, Messages app, and Login screen.

Kind of like windows 8 mobile running on a PC, if I were to download, I would use my mouse to unlock? I'd rather have the fingerprint scanner :3

Looks terrible. Stupid idea.

Retina iPhone display, iPad Mini w/ Retina, Retina MacBook Pro: now let's make everything flat, so there is no detail to see. Yes! Like MS and Google! Who doesn't love flat?!? I agree wholeheartedly with the earlier poster that mentioned how difficult it is to differentiate flat icons when you have more than two pages. I can't imagine what the artists are dealing with--"ok, it has to be blue, flat, and it should stand out from all the other flat, blue icons." Best bet: unified system themes. Let the user decide what they want.

Ios 7 is flat but at least it uses great neon color texture and not one color with sharp edge square and random size like microsucks icons!

Welcome to windows Aero crap.

Absolutely gorgeous and fantastic!

Its beautiful and simple

I wouldn't mind it as long as they still gave you access to the file system. I also agree, keep the menu bar... Steve Jobs would roll in his grave if Apple killed the menu bar

Your mom would roll in her grave if she thinks you're that right over that! Apple eliminates nothing, for one thing they still used plastic so that's an example!

NO!..... iOS7 is so bad and Don't even look like the Cool APPLE Stuff..JUST NO!...

gamerscul9870 - December 14, 2013 at 8:39pm

iOS 7 is bad on osx, ok on iphone ipad ipod!

nick-p - December 13, 2013 at 10:11pm

please Apple. No.

gamerscul9870 - December 13, 2013 at 9:10pm

Looks like a redone version of os 10.2.x

Alfraydo Chayse - December 13, 2013 at 5:57pm

This wouldn't happen like this because no developer is going to make their icons look good for OS X. Also, the menu bar is gone... used by 98% of applications.

kupal - December 13, 2013 at 5:32pm

hell NO! concentrate into features and not just the freakin' themes.

Interestng. @ CaptainJapan: Have you tried using a non-reflective screen protector? Might improve your user experience.

radfan957 - December 13, 2013 at 8:24pm

Why should I use a projector? I shouldn't have to buy auxiliary equipment to improve my experience.

Hahaha - December 13, 2013 at 10:00pm

Protector, not projector! Hahaha

H - December 13, 2013 at 5:09pm

Big NO.!!!

radfan957 - December 13, 2013 at 4:40pm

Now I can hate the look of my laptop, too.
