I’m having the feeling a certain group of people are going to have a field day with this one.
LINUX MAC OS LOOK A LIKE WINDOWS 7
I see little in Windows 7 that makes it look or function like Mac OS X, and I see little Aqua in Aero either. It sure is refreshing, but at the same time, it’s also complete nonsense. I have a faint feeling we’ll see a redaction or a I’ve-been-misquoted claim soon, because something like this surely shouldn’t be said by a Microsoft manager. We’ve significantly improved the graphical user interface, but it’s built on that very stable core Vista technology, which is far more stable than the current Mac platform, for instance. What we’ve tried to do with Windows 7 – whether it’s traditional format or in a touch format – is create a Mac look and feel in terms of graphics. One of the things that people say an awful lot about the Apple Mac is that the OS is fantastic, that it’s very graphical and easy to use. I saw an article recently that described it as ‘Vista on steroids’, and in some ways you can absolutely relate to that. We’ve stripped out a lot of the code, we’ve made a lot of it much more efficient, it sits on a smaller footprint, it operates far more quickly, it’s far more agile and effective in terms of the calls it makes. Vista was a totally redesigned operating system from XP.
The interesting thing is, it’s basically the next version of Vista. When asked “is Windows 7 really a much more agile operating system, in terms of the specific uses it can be moulded to?”, he replied: Microsoft is currently holding a partner conference in Wembley Stadium, and as such, PCR Online decided to interview Microsoft’s partner group manager, Simon Aldous. A Microsoft manager saying flat-out that Windows 7 copied Mac OS X? Surely, he had been misquoted. I stumbled upon this one just now on an Apple news website, and it made me stare at my screen for a few blinking seconds. Mac supporters have often stated that Vista and Windows 7 were copying from Apple, and according to Microsoft’s partner group manager, Simon Aldous, this is true. When it comes to graphical user interfaces, everyone is copying everyone, but you’ll always find supporters of platform Abc claiming platform Xyz is stealing from them – and vice versa.
LINUX MAC OS LOOK A LIKE ARCHIVE
To install, extract the archive file to the hidden ‘.themes’ folder in your Home folder (if you don’t have one, create one).įinally, to apply the theme, Open System Settings > Appearance > Themes and select the theme in both the window-borders and controls section.Okay, so this is new.

You can download the theme directly from GNOME-Look:ĭownload MacOS-Mint-Cinnamon-Edition Theme
Still the theme is a sterling attempt and well worth trying out - even if only as a novelty. The downside is that, for now, Paul’s excellent Mac os theme only affects the look and feel of applications and app window borders. A Cinnamon desktop theme is not (currently) available (and the Cinnamon Spices website turns up nothing Apple-related). Undeterred, Paul has re-engineered his Mac os theme for Linux Mint, building a new Metacity theme that blends with the rest of the UI while still allowing apps using Client Side Decoration (CSD) to look the part too. “This has proven to be a much more difficult thing to do, because of the way Linux Mint uses Muffin as a window-manager, which has some drawbacks (like: Server-Side-Decoration, so no transparency in Nemo, ) and the ‘multitude’ of toolbars that take half the real-estate of the window… Reducing the size of them was my first priority.” Not that the task was entirely smooth sailing, as Paul points out: Having recently raved about his creepily accurate macOS Mojave theme I was thrilled to learn that Paul has made a custom version of his macOS mojave theme available for the Cinnamon desktop. Paul creates and maintains a bunch of well designed and well made themes for various GTK+ based desktop environments, including GNOME Shell, Budgie and, more relevant to those of you reading this post, Cinnamon.
The regular version supports transparency, the Mint version does not
