Mac OS Like theme for Archlinux March 17, 2011 archit3x Leave a comment Go to comments Acher who wanna modify her/his desktop look like Mac OS, can try this theme. This theme base on Glossy P theme. In my opinion, this is not the best way to install themes in Xfce. Change wallpapers in Xfce. Again, the default Xfce wallpaper is not bad at all. But you can change the wallpaper to something that matches with your icons and themes. To change wallpapers in Xfce, right click on the desktop and click on Desktop Settings. Download Mac OS X Theme. Graphical theme for giving PCs a Mac makeover. It’s a great match for GTK themes like Greybird that don’t always fit with other window manager themes. If you like the silvery gray color scheme used on macOS but don’t want your desktop to be a clone of the Mac desktop, this theme may be for you.
Lubuntu 12.04 with Mac OS X Lion Theme, xcompmgr & cairo-dock
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.
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).
Xfce Theme Manager
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 :
Download Mac Os Theme For Windows Xp
Download and install Mac OS X Theme For LXDE
Download and install Mac OS X Lion Icon Theme
Install Cairo Dock and XCompmgr
Move the Panel to the top and remove Window List (Task Bar) Applet, Application Launch Bar Applet, Minimize All Windows Applet and Desktop Pager Applet.
Check the Strecth option of Spacer Applet between Menu Applet and system applet in order to get wide space between Menu and System Tray Applet.
Change the gtk and icon theme into Mac OS X, and change the Lubuntu logo into Apple logo by right clik at the Menu applet and point the image logo to /usr/share/icons/Mac-Lion-Icons/places/24/start-here.png
Add Cairo Dock and xcompmgr as additional autostarted startup applications in LXDE by editing this :
At the end, add these lines :
@cairo-dock
Now, we have Lubuntu with Mac OS X like look :*
