Mountain-Lion theme for unity+gnome-shell+cinnamon Read the full changelog As its name suggests, Mountain Lion Theme for Ubuntu 12.10 is a GTK3 theme specially designed for the Ubuntu operating system, giving users a Mac OS X like environment.
Mac OSX is the special one in the Desktop market. So many people admire itbecause of its beauty, safety (yes, it is an UNIX) and itsprofesional image as “an OS for profesional modern art designer”.Yeah, Mac OS X has beautiful look and I do like its look-n-feel. Andso, there are so many theme patcher to make our Microsoft Windows orLinux OS become Mac OS X in the appearance.
- May 13, 2012 Install Mac Theme. Open Terminal copy the following commands. Sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/themes sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install mac-os-lion-cursors sudo apt-get install mac-os-lion-icons sudo apt-get install mac-os-lion-theme. Now the theme installed. Now change the icons, cursors and GTK theme of Ubuntu 12.04.
- Mar 12, 2017 Once the download is complete you need to extract the tarball to your /.themes directory. Finally, to switch theme on you need to use the GNOME Tweak Tool, which is available to install from Ubuntu Software. For a more faithful mac-ification try the La Capitaine Mac icon theme for Linux, also available as a free download from GNOME-Look.
InLinux Desktop, there are some project specialized in designing themetransformation pack to make our Linux desktop to be looked like MacOS X. The most popular project probably is Mac4Lin. But, all of thoseprojects was designed only for GNOME or sometimes support XFCE andhow about LXDE? Our Star in the current lightweight Linux desktop?(Yes, LXDE is the most light-but-complete Linux desktop for now).
Untilnow, there is no project that officially support LXDE. Basically,LXDE uses gtk (now still stay with gtk2) and any gtk theme can beused in LXDE. The problem is, LXDE uses openbox as its windowmanager. And as the logical reason for its ligthweight, openbox haslimitation. Openbox doesn't support complex theming by using highresolution png images so we couldn't build sophisticated theme foropenbox. However, we could still build window theme with color foropenbox and we could try to resemble any theme we want, although itwill never be pitch-perfect same as a clone. And so, there is anopenbox theme tried to resemble Mac OS X theme and we could use it totransform our LXDE desktop to be looked like Mac OS X Lion.
Afterexperimenting with previous Mac4Lin theme, I've successfullytransform my Lubuntu 12.04 to be Mac OS X Lion style and so then Ipack them into DEBS and we could transform our Lubuntu to be lookedlike Mac OS X easily. Here are the steps to transform Lubuntu to belooked like Mac OS X Lion :
