I’m trying out with Mac4Lin, a very complete theme that attempts to mimic OS X. It includes themes, skins, and icons for compiz, metacity, pidgin, audacious, etc. While it isn’t original art the package is very impressive and I appreciate the effort.

The documentation seems to be a bit dated but it is easy enough to install if you are already into themes.

While not necessarily a part of Mac4Lin, I decided to try out Mac menu bar Gnome panel applet. I was very surprised how well it work. I was disappointed that XUL apps don’t work with it. Basically all non GTK2 applications will not work with it.

I highly doubt I will stick to this setup but I do wish there were more Linux themes that were this complete. Unfortunately the ones that are tend to mimic OS X or Vista.

While Jimmac’s mouse cursor has a few different names in various distros odds are you are using it. It’s been updated check it out.

I just found out about the site of this artist named David Lanham. He’s got some awesome artwork, wallpapers, icons, etc. Someone ported his Amora theme to GTK+Emerald and it looks awesome. I couldn’t find a port of the Amora icons so I am currently working on that. Obligatory screen shot….
