Ubuntu OSX?

Irishwhistle · 05-01-2007, 10:59 PM

I have installed Ubuntu on my computer and (oh yes, I know that it is not necessary

) I want to make it look like Mac OSX. There is one tutorial that I just saw yesterday but today I can't use it because the web hoster bumped the user who posted off of they're website for exceeding the bandwidth. Does anyone know a way to make Ubuntu look like OSX? I am running it with GNOME Windows Manager.

go to http:www.gnome-look.org and you will find lots of themes. OSX themes are there too with installation instructions.

OK, I'll try that, thanks!

remember to install the gnome-art manager though.

from the terminal in ubuntu you can just try something like this

Code:

apt-get gnome-art manager

it should search the net and resolve all dependencies and download and install whatever. Just make sure that gnome-art manager is the right name, I for one am not 100% sure.

you can also use the apt-update command as well. These are things that are built into debian based distros of linux and can be very useful. I would try using them to see what you can install with them.

It's 4GB, I have been thinking about it though. For now I want to at least have my PC look like it. Thanks everyone!

I now have a titlebar theme but I need to know how to change the GNOME bar to look like OSX. I also need a dock and I need to know what kind of text OSX uses. Thanks!

I found a GTK MacBar but I can not figure out how to use it. Does anyone know about it?
