Happy new year, welcome 2010!
This is our new year project! Tweak Gnome Ubuntu Karmic Koala desktop to look like Mac OS X Leopard [almost].
Lots of people love the look and practicality of Mac OS X desktop GUI. So, we've tried to find equivalent or alternative applications, theme & applet to imitate Mac OS X desktop.
Here is the screen cast of the desktop :
These are equivalent apps, theme & scripts used for Ubuntu desktop in the video:
With some bash scripts, applications themes & configs, this is the best imitation Mac OS X Leopard on Gnome Ubuntu we able to imagine so far. We also improvise existing Mac OS X cairo-dock theme with Dashboard launcher. Continue on how to do this.
Here is the screen cast of the desktop :
- Desktop theme, icons, pidgin theme = Mac4Lin v1.0 - script
- Quick Look = Gloobus-preview
- Dock = Cairo-dock [theme] / Avant Window Navigator [AWN] [theme]
- Expose = Compiz - Scale
- Quicksilver = Gnome-do
- Spotlight = Deskbar-applet
- Dashboard = Screenlets + Compiz widget layer [ launcher + script]
- Global menu = Gnome-globalmenu applet
- Firefox Themes
