Get That Leopard Look On Your Linux Desktop
Want the look of Apple’s new Leopard operating system on your Linux machine? The Mac4Lin project has you covered and there’s even an incredibly detailed, six page tutorial on how to make your Linux desktop replicate the look and feel of Leopard.
The basic files you’ll need can be found at the project home on sourceforge and the tutorial on what to do with those files is at howtoforge.
Of course you can’t duplicate everything, but this is pretty close. The Mac4Lin project covers everything from boot graphic to fonts with all stuff in between — windows, task bar, icons, application themes, system sounds and more.
We’ve seen a number of tutorials over the years about various tips and tricks for making Linux look like Mac, but this is by far the most detailed and explicit and also the only one I’m aware of that tries to mimic Leopard specifically.
As for why you would want to do this, as they say, there’s no accounting for taste.
[Update: As “commenter” points out below, I should have noted that this tutorial is geared toward the Gnome desktop, though I suspect, if you knew what you were doing, it could be adapted, or partially adapted at least, to KDE and others as well.]
