Mac4Lin: ditched

A few days ago I decided I didn't want all the leopard-lookalike stuff on my linux box, just a nice ubuntu look. The main reasons were: (1) that it created gtk errors for EVERY app, and (2) it also used a hell of alot of RAM. I also thought, 'why would I want to make Gnome look like a propietary GUI?'. What I ended up doing is just having preset icons/themes and stuff, then hacking it a little. Right now I have Human icons, Clearlooks window border (with default blue color), and Glossy controls. I hacked icons like the rhythmbox tray icon (I actually got that icon of gnome-look) and the computer icon (I bodged that together in GIMP). Here is an overview of my desktop, grey-propietary-leopard-look free (I got the wallpaper from interfaceLIFT):

Many people want Leopard, apple's latest and greatest version of OS X, but many people also don't want to cough up the $129/£85 for it. If you are one of those people, and currently use Tiger (10.4) then check out this excellent customization pack. (URL http://spiderlama.deviantart.com/art/Liger-57706188) I reckon It's about as far as you'll get your tiger installation to look like leopard. Many thanks to the person who made this!

Mac4Lin is a good set of themes and stuff for gnome, that imitates OS X, and does it quite well. You can find the homepage on google, i can't be bothered to give it to you! Well, reccomended for any mac GUI nerds switching to linux! Also, here is another good site for that kinda stuff.
