(UPDATED 23rd AUGUST 2008)

1) Make sure the following boxes are checked: No Titbar ! / Load FindeXer in Every Explorer Window by Default / Enable HotTracking

2) Locate General Appearance and open the Background Color Menu.   Open Custom Color and set the color values to:   Red: 214 Green: 221 Blue: 229

 1) Under Item Details - Data to be displayed, check the Use Both (If Available) box

2) Locate General Appearance, set Item Size to 20. Open the Item Font Color, open Custom Color and set the color values to: Red: 60 Green: 60 Blue: 60

3) Set your font to: Lucida Grande / Bold / 8 point

1) Under Separator Properties: Line Style - Solid Line / Line Thickness - 1 / Separator Width - 100%

2) Open the Separator Color Tab, open Custom Color and set the color values to: Red: 214 Green: 221 Blue: 229

1) Download the Leopard Sidebar Icons set from Devian Art  (link)

1) Select the Name box and using the Space Bar, insert 3 x spaces in front of the Drive Letter or Device Title

Your Name box might look like this:[Space]/[Space]/[Space]C. This is done to force the drive name away from the icon similar to the Leopard Finder

2) Rename the Drive Letter or Device Title to another description that might suit your emulation better - ie. Leopard C

1) Check the Use Custom Image box & search for the Leopard folder you downloaded:. Select the appropriate icon from the list and replace the existing one

NB: Steps One, Two & Three must be repeated for each item in the sidebar

1) Create a new folder on your C: drive. Open the folder and create 3 x shortcuts and set the target to any application or folder - ie C:\Applications:

1) Download the finder arrow icons as part of the sidebar icon set from DA  (link)

2) Give each shortcut a different title - ie. DEVICES / PLACES / SHARED. These titles should be typed in CAPS only

3) Right click the shortcut icon and look for Properties and then Change Icon. Search for the finder arrows icons you downloaded

4) Arrow icons and Titles should be teamed up as follows: DEVICES [down arrow] / PLACES [right arrow] / SHARED [down arrow]

5) Drag each shortcut into the sidebar and place where suitable. Insert separator's where preferred - typically one above and one below the PLACES shortcut

NB. These arrows are cosmetic only and they will not collapse or expand the device tree. This is a simple emulation solution only !
