How to make your Ubuntu look like a Mac

Just search for a whole bunch of Mac GTK Themes, icon sets, fonts and cursors. Here is what we think the most like the choice of MAC appearance, don't be afraid of trouble, need a little tossing spirit, through the Deviantart, Github Channel to choose the right thing for your taste.

Choose a correct desktop environment Gnome Shell

To make your Linux look more like the look of your Mac, the GNOME Shell is easier, and Unity, MATE, and Cinnamon are inherently customizable desktops, so you don't need to turn them into Macs. The GNOME shell is the most customizable, which is a key issue.

If you don't have a gnome Shell installed on your Ubuntu, you need to install it. This is very simple, you can click on the link below and follow the on-screen prompts (select ' Lightdm ' as the display manager during the installation process).

Install Gnome-shell from Ubuntu software

In addition you need to take some time to install the GNOME Tweak Tool, click on the link below:

Install GNOME Tweak Tool from Ubuntu software

After the installation is complete, choose to go to the Gnome Shell desktop:

Install a MAC GTK theme

The simplest way to make Ubuntu look like a Mac is to install the Mac GTK theme.

Our recommendation is to download the GNOME OS X II GTK Theme (download and unzip the

~/.themes

directory).

It's not a perfect Mac clone, but one of the best-designed Mac GTK Themes (with a matching gnome shell icon theme download).

Unfortunately the Gnome OS X II theme requires GNOME 3.20 or later, so you'll need to run Ubuntu 16.10 or later to use it.

Download GNOME OS X II GTK Theme from Gnome-look

If you run Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, you can download the "MacOS Sierra" clone created by the B00merange project:

How to install GTK themes

Download the theme via the link above and move to the ~/.themes directory after decompression.

If you do not see this folder, press CTRL + H to view the hidden folders. Next, locate the. Themes folder or create it if it does not exist. Move the extracted folders above to this folder.

Using GNOME Tweak Tool > appearance

Open the selection topic.

Install a MAC icon set

Search you will find a lot of Mac icons, but not a complete one.

Ok we need to scare the ' La capitaine ' icon set.

Fully open source, available for download from GitHub.

~/.icons

Directory.

Ctrl + H

Browse for hidden files. To view hidden folders. Next, locate the. Icons folder or create it if it does not exist. Move the extracted folders above to this folder.

Change system font

If you've ever used Mac OS X/macos, you'll know how concise and clear the system is.

' Lucida Grande ' is a familiar Mac system font, although Apple uses a system font called "San Franciso" in recently released MacOS.

You can use search to find more information (or download links) on both of these fonts, but please note that neither font is licensed-so we can't use it, sorry!

Fortunately there is an open source alternative to "Lucida Grande" called Garuda. It's even preinstalled on Ubuntu, so you don't need to look for a font.

Direct use

GNOME Tweak Tool > Fonts

Set the ' Windows Titles ' and ' Interface ' fonts.

If you're using unity, you can use the Unity Tweak Tool to change your font.

Add a desktop Dock

Installing the GNOME shell extension will solve

Dash to Dock GNOME Extension

The Dash to dock does not look much like mac-ish by default, so you want to enter

GNOME Tweak Tool > Extensions > Dash to Dock > appearance

, change the color to white, and reduce the opacity.

Plank Dock

If you're using the Unity Desktop, you can install plank, hide the Unity Launcher (

System Settings > Desktop > Behaviour

), use the link below to install

Install Plank from Ubuntu software

Plank can configure a variety of topics to make it easy to replicate the Mac OS x experience. Gnosemite is a faithful Mac theme that is worth a look.
