On deviantart i found a Mac lion theme for Ubuntu 11.10 by ~MBOSSG. Please note that this is not a gnome-shell but a GTK3 theme.
Download the Mac Lion theme here and to install the theme follow these instructions:
1) extract Lion By MB0SS.tar.gz, then open the icon folder and cut and paste (Icon Lion By MB0SS) in /home/.icons (if the folder doesn’t exist you can simply make it yourself).
2) Open a terminal window (press SuperKey and type: terminal) and type: sudo nautilus. Then go to /usr/share/icons and make a new folder and move all cursor themes in the newly made folder and then cut and paste (dont copy) Lion By MB0SS cursor theme in /usr/share/icons folder.
3) Then go to your /usr/share/sound folder and cut and paste Lion By MB0SS sound theme in the /usr/share/sound folder and set mac sound theme in sound settings menu.
4) Now cut and paste the Lion By MB0SS theme in your home/.theme folder
To change the icons, cursor, window theme and GTK+ theme you need to have the gnome tweak tool installed. To install it copy+paste the following lines in your terminal window:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
When installed press the SuperKey and type: advanced settings and change the following settings:
windows theme: Lion by MB0SS
cursor theme: Lion by MB0SS
icon theme: icon Lion by MB0SS
GTK+theme: Lion by MB0SS
Reboot your computer and enjoy the Mac Lion theme!!
I like the MacLion theme by MBOSSG but the instruction here is not clear to ubuntu newbie like me. Please could be specific? Thank you.
It’s a step by step guide and this is the easiest way to explain it … please note that installing the mac lion theme can mess up the desktop.
I could add some screen shots of the steps but it would take some time to make them. Maybe you can add me to your facebook and then i can talk you through the steps using the chat option.
I can’t think of an easier way to help you with installing the mac lion theme.
that mediafire link is not working
That means that the file is no longer available for download. Maybe the file is an older version and they removed the files from the mediafire servers. If i have some time i can look into how to install the Mac Lion theme on Ubuntu 11.10, 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04. Need to do some searching and reading before i can make a new installation guide.
