You can download the theme directly from GNOME-Look:ĭownload MacOS-Mint-Cinnamon-Edition Theme Still the theme is a sterling attempt and well worth trying out - even if only as a novelty. The downside is that, for now, Paul’s excellent Mac os theme only affects the look and feel of applications and app window borders. A Cinnamon desktop theme is not (currently) available (and the Cinnamon Spices website turns up nothing Apple-related). Undeterred, Paul has re-engineered his Mac os theme for Linux Mint, building a new Metacity theme that blends with the rest of the UI while still allowing apps using Client Side Decoration (CSD) to look the part too. “This has proven to be a much more difficult thing to do, because of the way Linux Mint uses Muffin as a window-manager, which has some drawbacks (like: Server-Side-Decoration, so no transparency in Nemo, ) and the ‘multitude’ of toolbars that take half the real-estate of the window… Reducing the size of them was my first priority.” Not that the task was entirely smooth sailing, as Paul points out: Having recently raved about his creepily accurate macOS Mojave theme I was thrilled to learn that Paul has made a custom version of his macOS mojave theme available for the Cinnamon desktop. Paul creates and maintains a bunch of well designed and well made themes for various GTK+ based desktop environments, including GNOME Shell, Budgie and, more relevant to those of you reading this post, Cinnamon. It does not include an icon theme or any assets copyrighted to Apple.The regular version supports transparency, the Mint version does not 3- Open Settings > Personalization > Themes > Select the theme. 1- to use this theme first you need to install UXTheme Patcher.

Depending on your favoured icon theme the latter tweak can look particularly slick. Integrated and app menus work fine, and on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS launcher items are displayed without the rounded bounding box (see top screen). Unity integration is also fully supported. Pairing accurately styled ‘traffic light’ window controls and the faux metal sheen in app headers, the theme also features a nice blue highlight, stark white menus and does a standout job of handling Nautilus - a key app many themes fail to pay attention to. Other operating systems require tinkering with inner parts of the system to achieve what those of us on Linux can do in just a couple of clicks.Īnd as knee-jerk as some may find it, the designs of Windows, OS X, iOS or Android do have fans and do have years of expertise and reasoning behind them. Blatant imitations like Zukimac as well as those that simply take a few cues from elsewhere, all take advantage of this opportunity. Most Linux desktop environments are versatile enough to allow extensive theming. There’s nothing ‘traitorous’ or ‘anti-Linux’ in mimicking the design of another platform. Motivation is subjective, as is taste, so the short answer is: “Don’t like it? Don’t use it!” Whenever we cover a theme that apes the appearance of another operating system the question of why you might want to do it will arise. ![]() Unlike other attempts at aping the appearance of Cupertino’s finest OS, this one actually looks and feels like it was made for Linux and not the half-hearted mish-mash of OS X assets laid over basic theming that other themes of this ilk tend to resemble. If Apple made a GTK3 theme chances are it would look like Zukimac.įrom pixel-perfect handling of Nautilus to suitably styled maximised Unity controls – the developer of Zukimac has clearly put a lot of thought and attention into fashioning their theme to work as well as it can. ‘If Apple made a GTK3 theme it would look like this’ ![]()
