Hello Linux users, welcome to my blog. Today we are going to show you some nice stuff for your Linux desktop. If you like Mac OS X interface, and you want to make your Linux looks like a Mac OS X, then you came to the right place. We are going to list some great Mac OS X themes for Linux. There are many new and updated GTK3 themes that will make your Linux looks like Mac OS X. As you might know, the new Mac OS X Catalina is about to release. Linux community has some great themes that trying to mimic the Mac OS X Catalina. It is not perfect but it’s great to try.
Mint Project is a rapid application development environment that builds true Mac OS X Cocoa applications using a BASIC (Mint Basic flavor) style programming language. Sep 22, 2019 If you like Mac OS X interface, and you want to make your Linux looks like a Mac OS X, then you came to the right place. We are going to list some great Mac OS X themes for Linux. There are many new and updated GTK3 themes that will make your Linux looks like Mac OS X. As you might know, the new Mac OS X Catalina is about to release.
Before we go through the tutorial, here are some screenshots of my Manjaro 18.1.0 with Mac OS X theme installed.
Here are some nice GTK3 themes that will make your Linux looks like Mac OS X Catalina or Mojave.
A. McMojave GTK3 Theme
McMojave is a popular GTK3 theme. It supports various desktop environments such as Gnome, Unity, Budgie, Pantheon, Cinamon, XFCE, Mate, etc. There are also variants including light or dark mode. For me, the dark mode is the best looking one.
B. McOS-Themes
Similar to McMojave theme, the McOS-Themes is updated regularly by the developer/designer. It also has a nice looking design and color matching. The new version McOS-CTLina is trying to mimic the new and upcoming Mac OS X Catalina.
These two GTK themes are the most popular themes in Gnome-look.org. And yes they are the best. But we still have another great Mac OS X theme for you.
C. McHigh Sierra
This theme is also great. It is available in light and dark mode as well. In the package you will have the following themes:
- Gtk2 theme
- Gtk3 theme
- Gnome-shell theme
- Metacity theme
- Xfwm4 theme
- Cinnamon theme
- Plank theme
All of these themes works with any Linux distribution including but not limited to Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Manjaro, Linux Mint etc.
D. Catalina
From its name, you can guess that this GTK3 theme is for Mac OS X Catalina fans. Slightly I cannot differentiate between these themes. Catalina theme works with Gnome 3.x, MATE, Cinnamon and Pantheon.
One thing that you will miss in this Catalina theme is the Activities button icon. On the other Mac theme above, the Activities button will turned into a nice launcher icon.
Wrap Up
So basically there are still many Mac OS X themes available at Gnome-Look website. Many of them are derived from the same theme with some little modifications.
Linux Mint Mac Os X Theme
After going through a painful process to convert my Mac mini to a Linux only machine I decided to post how to do it.ATTENTION: this is for people wanting to install Linux Mint 15 on a Mac Mini to become
Mint
Linux only in SINGLE boot, without any Mac OS X alongside it. If you want to dual boot OS X and Linux Mint there are other tutorials out there that work, normally involving Boot Camp and rEFIt or rEFInd. I decided to make my mac mini Linux olny after installing in dual boot and then spending a few months without using Max OS X.. decided to reclaim all the HD for use in /home.My Mac mini model is A1283 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_mini#Specifications_2), YMMV if you have a different model.
Distro was Linux Mint 15 MATE 64bit. I originally experimented with Mint 14 XFCE due to limited RAM (1Gb) but after upgrading to 4Gb decided to go Mint 15 MATE.
So, here we go.. I downloaded live DVD, booted into it then selected Install Linux Mint. Asked to wipe everything and install, then got an error informing automatic partitioning wouldn't be able to install the bootloader. Chose to do manual partitioning (an option named 'something else' if I recall correctly).
I didn't get it right the first time, so to make a long story short, here is what the final partitioning that worked looks like:To pay attention: in MY case Linux Mint was installed on /dev/sda2 (partition number 2) and the boot loader on /dev/sda1 (partition number 1). Your case may be different, change /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 in the examples below if needed. My case is strange because the first partition was numbered 5, probably because I created it by spliting my partition 1 in two, when partitions 2, 3 and 4 already existed.
To do your homework to find out your partition numbers:

Dec 02, 2017 This one shipped with High Sierra, and is now running version 10.13. Since the 'update' to High Sierra (which I cannot revert, since it shipped with this OS X), my MacBook Pro 15' (2017) does not recognize my external monitor anymore using the exact same method I used before (USB-C to DisplayPort adapter). Usb 3.0 not reading for mac os high sierra 10.13.6 new security update version. How to create a bootable macOS High Sierra installer drive Put the macOS High Sierra installer on an external USB thumb drive or hard drive and use it to install the operating system on a Mac. Nov 06, 2019 Some iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max users have discovered that iTunes does not recognize the new iPhone connected to a Mac. Instead, launching iTunes with iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro connected via USB cable does nothing, and the iPhone does not show up in iTunes, it does not sync, backup, or appear to exist at all within iTunes. Aug 28, 2018 High Sierra 10.13.6 requires a new USB patch to get all USB/USB3 ports recognized and working. You will also need the USBInjectAll.kext Mount EFI Partition with Clover Configurator. So what happened is that USB 3.0 stop working after the update to 10.13.6. I realised this just today due to I haven't used external drives for a while. When plugging hard drive into USB 3.0 ports of my mobo (B360), the drive is not showing up on Finder or Disk Utility.
You need to leave a small partition at the start, unformatted, with bios_grub flag on, then another one about 90Mb of size formatted with fat32 and with boot flag on. I don't recall now if it was possible to set those flags in the installtion procedure.. but you'll be able to set them with gparted, which can be invoked from the command line.I performed the installation, then at the end an error message came up informing it was impossible to install the boot loader. I chose continue without boot loader, finished and did NOT reboot.
Then in a terminal I forced the installtion of GRUB with:(remember, in MY case GRUB was being put in /dev/sda1 and Mint on /dev/sda2, adapt if your partition numbers are different).
Then, I rebooted. No, it didn't work automatically. I was greeted with a grub rescue prompt.
Next step, learned from this link (http://askubuntu.com/questions/192621/grub-rescue-prompt-repair-grub) was to manually get it to boot. In MY case where partition 2 was where Mint was installed, I used the commands below. If your Mint is in another partition, change 2 for that number:Code: Select all
Then Mint from the HD came up, so the boot worked. Next step was to update Linux Mint just in case, then follow instructions in this thread (http://linuxnorth.wordpress.com/2012/02/07/repairing-grub/) and use boot-repair. Commands were:Then pressing the main button and telling it to continue despite my EFI partition being smaller than 100Mb, it repaired the boot loader and then everything worked.I hope there are other mac mini owners out there who find this useful.
