Customization is one of the main reasons why I use Linux. There is no end to the kind of customization you can do to your desktop Linux. You can change icons, themes, change fonts, change terminals, add screenlets, indicator applets, extensions and what not.

Open GNOME Tweak tool and change the Application and Shell theme. As soon as you change the themes, you can see those three yellow, green and red buttons, and that Apple logo on upper left corner. You can also notice come changes on panel items.
Once you are finished with the aforementioned prerequisites, it is time to move on to the first step in making your Ubuntu look like Mac OS, which involves the installation of a Mac OS GTK Theme. Go to the gnome-look website and download the theme you want. This website gives you a wide array of choices, and you can also filter the themes according to date of release and user rating.
After downloading these files, go to the home directory and press Ctrl + H to show the hidden folders and files. If you do not see the .themes folder, then create a new folder with the .themes name and extract and copy the folders that you downloaded to this directory.
The theme requires Gtk 3.20 or newer, so it should work with most Linux distributions, e.g. from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.10, etc.The same designer / developer has also created a WhiteSur icon theme that mimics the macOS Big Sur icon theme for Linux desktops. The icon theme is also available in light and dark variants.I realize not everyone likes the look of macOS, or to make their Linux desktop look like it, so this theme isn't for everyone. But you have to admit it's pretty cool that this is possible. And believe it or not, there are quite a few people that want to mimic the Mac look on Linux, and this article is for them.If you prefer Adwaita or Yaru themes, but you want to spice them up a bit, see:Adwaita Color Variants: GNOME's Default Theme In 12 Colors (Light And Dark GTK3, GTK2 And GNOME Shell)Yaru Colors Updated With Ubuntu 20.04 Yaru Theme In 12 Colors (GTK, Icons, GNOME Shell, More)if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined')ez_ad_units.push([[336,280],'linuxuprising_com-medrectangle-4','ezslot_5',115,'0','0']);__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-linuxuprising_com-medrectangle-4-0');More screenshots:WhiteSur dark themeWhiteSur light solid theme (there isn't a solid theme for Plank)WhiteSur light theme widgetsWhiteSur dark theme widgetsImportant things you need to know before using WhiteSur Gtk theme:1. With Nvidia graphics (it definitely happens with proprietary drivers, I'm not sure if it also happens with Nouveau), the Nautilus sidebar doesn't refresh after hovering over the items, making it look broken:To work around this issue, the theme developer has created solid theme alternatives (e.g. WhiteSur-light-solid and WhiteSur-dark-solit), which don't have this issue.2. Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10 users will notice that using this theme, the Ubuntu Software app is completely transparent and not usable. This is because Ubuntu Software is a snap app starting with Ubuntu 20.04, and this causes most third-party themes to not work properly with Ubuntu Software. Basically, any Gtk theme that is not in the common-themes snap will have this problem; theming support is under development for snaps, and until it's finished this issue will continue to persist.A work-around for this exists though. Install Gnome Software:sudo apt install gnome-softwareAfter this, you'll see "Ubuntu Software" in the applications menu, which is the Snap Store that has these theming issues, and "Software" which is Gnome Software (which doesn't have these theming issues).I explained this, and other tweaks, in my Top Things To Do After Installing Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa To Make The Most Of It article.
Following steps will first download and install the GTK theme, icons theme, and a set of wallpapers. And then apply new themes and tweak the left dock to make your Ubuntu desktop look like Mac OS X.
I also tweaked the system menu. In fact, almost everything in Plasma has several layouts. Forexample, the clock, the task manager (you can use alternative views, like icons-only), and similarly,you can change the application menu. You can use the classic, Windows XP layout, the modern one(default), or a full-screen overlay, which kind of fits nicely here. It also comes with a soft blureffect, and the dark theming is pretty effective (even though I hate dark themes on the desktop).
With most desktops - even today, you must roam the net and manually install icons and system themes.Not so with Plasma. Furthermore, the old "Get new themes" functionality has moved from the old popupwizard into Discover. It's all there, nicely and elegantly sorted, and it all works beautifully. I havenot encountered any broken themes, and soon enough I had what I needed. There's a plethora of Mac-likethemes available, including the likes of Mojave and Yosemite and such. For icons, I chose LaCapitaine.
This was a very enjoyable little exercise. A true testimony to the power and flexibility of Plasma.Not just that, it is faster, easier and more effective making the Mac-like transformation in KDE thanit is in all other desktop environments I've done this in the past five years. For example, I foundsimilar endeavors with Gnome 3, MATE and Xfce buggier and more difficult to implement; I had tomanually copy themes, the global menu didn't always work, the dock was buggy, etc.
Hi Guys,I wonder why Blender so slow on my MacBook Pro 13" HD4000 Mountain Lion,I tried to install Windows 7, it works very well, but I dont want to buy Windows 7,I try Lubuntu, it runs well too,i dont mind to use lubuntu, but since theres another programs i use on mac osx,so it seem troublesome to switch os.
Changing the theme of a desktop environment is a common way to customize your daily experience with Fedora Workstation. This article discusses the 4 different types of visual themes you can change and how to change to a new theme. Additionally, this article will cover how to install new themes from both the Fedora repositories and 3rd party theme sources.
When changing the theme of Fedora Workstation, there are 4 different themes that can be changed independently of each other. This allows a user to mix and match the theme types to customize their desktop in a multitude of combinations. The 4 theme types are the Application (GTK) theme, the shell theme, the icon theme, and the cursor theme.
Application themes are also known as GTK themes, as GTK (GIMP Toolkit) is the underlying technology that is used to render the windows and user interface widgets in those windows on Fedora Workstation.
Shell themes change the appearance of the GNOME Shell. The GNOME Shell is the technology that displays the top bar (and the associated widgets like drop downs), as well as the overview screen and the applications list it contains.
One important item to note with icon themes is that all icon themes will not have customized icons for all application icons. Consequently, changing the icon theme will not change all the icons in the applications list in the overview.
Changing themes on Fedora Workstation is a simple process. To change all 4 types of themes, use the Tweaks application. Tweaks is a tool used to change a range of different options in Fedora Workstation. It is not installed by default, and is installed using the Software application:
The Fedora repositories contain a small selection of additional themes that once installed are available to we chosen in Tweaks. Theme packages are not available in the Software application, and have to be searched for and installed via the command line. Most theme packages have a consistent naming structure, so listing available themes is pretty easy.
Typically when downloading themes from these sites, the themes are encapsulated in an archive like a tar.gz or zip file. In most cases, to install these themes, simply extract the contents into the correct directory, and the theme will appear in Tweaks. Note too, that themes can be installed either globally (must be done using sudo) so all users on the system can use them, or can be installed just for the current user.
I have been using Fedora as my only desktop for longer than I will admit. I love the freedom of customizing its look. I can only wish for brighter themes (Clear Looks) and hate to be afraid of non-compatible ones. It seems that in the past it was easier to shame my Wimpdows friends with how customizable Linux was.
There are some really good themes out there, however you always run the risk of the theme not covering all the possible use cases and you end up with applications that look incorrectly, deteriorating the experience.
Download this next link and save it to the /usr/share/lubuntu/images directory. This provides a custom Windows `95 start menu button: right click on menu button, select menu settings, select the saved menu button.
Today we will highlight an awesome new theme made by one of my personal favorite Linux theme authors known as paulxfce, he has finally released the highly demanded macOS Mojave theme for Ubuntu! It looks really good and honestly, it could be the best macOS theme for Linux yet! I know that is a big claim to make when we have other amazing themes that make your Linux look like a Mac, example, check out Big Sur theme for Ubuntu, as you can see that theme itself is very impressive but I think this Mojave theme might surpass it, let me know in the comments what you think of it.
After installation, you can open Albert spotlight from the Dash and first set a hotkey to activate it.Install Plank Dock and themesPlank is a lightweight dock app which is a good alternative to the MacOS dock. Install plank via terminal with the following commands. 2ff7e9595c
