McOS-themes


This is a repository that contains Mac OS-themes for the Linux-Gnome desktop made by PaulXFCE (myself)

These are high end and thoroughly developed GTK-themes for the gnome desktop that interprets the mac OS themes to the gnome-environment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


NEW

Updated the gnome versions to gnome 3.36, and added new matching shell themes.

NEW

New version (1.3) with separated back- and forward buttons in the nautilus-headerbar.

NEW

Added Mc-OS-Transparent: a very transparent version of the dark theme.

McOS-CTLina is the latest iteration in this long-running series of mac- OS GTK-themes.

Theming-wise this version builds further on top of the Mc-OS-MJV-GTK-theme. Better optimized with subtle improvements CTLina and CTLina-Dark are definitely worth updating. Gnome-shell-theme is now included.

Gnome 3.32 and 3.34 is supported. Look for McOS-CTLina-Gnome and McOS-CTLina-Gnome-Dark for the Gnome-desktop

NEW: Mc-OS CTLina XFCE is now available, see here. for more details;

NEW: Mc-OS CTLina-Mint is now available, including a dark version, see here. for more details;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Older versions:

In the latest version (2.0) (McOS-MJV) I've modernized it in every little detail, such as truely rounded menu's, blue arrow-buttons on comboboxes. The McOS-MJV-dark-theme has been completely redone (visually) to look more true to the original, and look more crisp and usable.
The dark-mode is also available as a seperate theme (McOS-MJV-Darkv2.0), which has the benifit of having GTK2-applications enjoy the same dark mode.

NEW:

Support for gnome 3.32 for Mc-OS-MJV and Mc-OS-MJV-Dark. Gnome has (again) changed the theming-properties for gnome 3.32. So I'm obliged to submit yet another version... (updated)
You can download now:

- Mc-OS-MJV-Gn3.32-V2.1
- Mc-OS-MJV-Dark-Gn-3.32-V2.1

important!: These themes(mentioned just above) ONLY work in the gnome 3.32 desktop !

NEW:

A new version (2.0) for the Cinnamon-desktop. More details here.
You can find it here also, in the download-section.

NEW:

There are now 2 new themes for the XFCE-desktop:
- McOS-MJV-XFCE-Edition 2.2 - McOS-MJV-Dark-XFCE-Edition 2.2

NEW:

Version 2.0 of the MJV-editions

NEW:

Updated to address issues with window-decoration giving exceptionally large resize-area around SSD-windows.

NEW:

A new version (2.0) of the McOS MJV-XFCE-Edition is available in the download-section. click this link for more details.

NEW:

Added McOS-MJV-Gnome-3.30 and McOS-MJV-Dark-mode-Gnome-3.30
And also McOS-SPG has now a Gnome 3.30-variant in the download-section.
Because of changes to nautilus, Gnome 3.30 requires adjustments to the theme. Unfortunately these changes conflict with the old theme. So I made versions especially for Gnome 3.30. See in the 'Files' tab for the downloadable themes.
NEW:

There is a XFCE-edition of McOS-MJV available, visit this link for more details. It is also available in the download-section of this page.
NEW:

For the McOS-XFCE-edition visit this link
In the download-section here you can download it too.
There are 2 versions available in the downloadable file here (Version I is for XFCE with Thunar-version below 1.8, II for version =>1.8)

NEW:

For the Linux Mint Cinnamon community here is a special version:

Visit McOS-Mint-Cinnamon-Edition for more info.
In this download-section you can choose McOS-Mint-Cinnamon-Edition.

Careful: do not use the Cinnamon-version in the standard gnome version!

NEW

How to install:

There is 5 files to choose:

- McOS-MJV (the Mac OS Mojave (TM) interpretation
- McOS-MJV-Dark-Mode is the dark-mode interpretation
- McOS HS (this file contains two files, one with-/ one without transparency)
- McOS-SPG is a theme inspired by Garageband (TM) and Logic PRO (TM)
- McOS-YS is a theme inspired by the OSX Yosemite (TM) theme by Apple (TM)
- McOS-Shell-Themes contains Three shell themes

Download the file; extract it; and (in some cases ) you will find two themes. a version with transparency, another with (not-transparent); copy both files to a '.themes'-folder you make in your home directory. Or to your USR/SHARE/THEMES-folder for system-wide use (certainly for theming of SNAP-packages)
Then use Tweak-tool to select the GTK and shell theme.
LOG OUT AND BACK IN for changes to take effect !
Next
OSX uses titlebuttons on the left-side:
To put the buttons to the left open a terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout "close,minimize,maximize:"
In Gnome 3.26 gnome-tweak has a option to change the position of the titlebuttons, so the above steps are not necessary.


Troubleshooting:

When, as such, theming does not look the way it should be: make sure you have installed the necessary theme-"engines":

- The gnome-themes-standard package,
- The murrine engine. This has different names depending on your distro.
gtk-engine-murrine (Arch Linux)
gtk2-engines-murrine (Debian, Ubuntu, elementary OS)
gtk-murrine-engine (Fedora)
gtk2-engine-murrine (openSUSE)
gtk-engines-murrine (Gentoo)

"sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf" is the terminal command, usually solves the issues with GTK2.

McOS-CTLina-Mint



This is a totally re-engineered version of McOS-CTLina for the Mint Cinnamon desktop.

Besides the standard light-version there is now also a fully adapted McOS-CTLina-Mint-Dark version available.

Nemo, the filemanager has been tweaked so it resembles (a bit) the MacOS-finder. In the screenshot Nemo's menubar is hidden. The way the menubar shows the drop-down-menus is also redone to reduce the size of the real-estate of Nemo's multitude of bars.

Metacity-theme (the titlebar with the traffic-lights) automatically switches to the dark-theme if needed.

How to:

Download and extract the file to your '.themes'-folder (make one if you have not done so already)

Open System Settings/Appearance/themes and choose the theme in the window-borders and Controls.


Note: there is no Cinnamon-theme provided.

Mc-OS CTLina XFCE


Open screenshots in a new tab and enlarge for full view


Made by Paulxfce

This is the latest iteration of the XFCE-cation of Mc-OS CTLina. (the gnome-version), a desktop-interpretation of a certain Cupertino-based OS for XFCE

It is developed and made for XFCE 4.14.

For optimal setting, please follow the following guidelines:

1. Download and extract the file to a ".themes"-folder in your Home-file, or (with administrative rights) extract it to the usr/share/themes -folder.
2. Select the theme in the Appearance-application.
3. Select the theme in the Window-manager.
4. In Window Manager Tweaks/compositor activate the following:
- Enable display compositing
- Show windows preview in place of icons when cycling
- Show shadows under popup windows
- Show shadows under regular windows
5. Disable show shadows under docked windows
6. Set Opacity of popup windows a bit more transparent (this makes the background of the menu's transparent).
7. In the Qt5 Settings configuration application/Appearance, set the style to gtk2
8. In the Qt5 Settings configuration application/Fonts select a font that is the same as the one you use.
9. In the Qt5 Settings configuration application/Icons select the same icon-theme as the one you use.
10. In the Qt5 Settings configuration application/Interface, deactivate 'Dialog buttons have icons'
11. In the Window Manager move the title-buttons to the left.

Next, I prefer 'Roboto Regular' as my main font (just google it)

Important: This theme only works with a compositor enabled !
