How to make Linux look like Mac OS X with mac4lin

[nannynicky4life]

i did some terminal stuff i found and it made my linux mint look way more like mac then this. so much that my sister and mom thought i got a new laptop. my mom actually scolded me for wasting my money until i showed her my system info. that is how much better you can make linux compared with this.

[InSAnHackZPrO]

it didnt work.......... i did everything... it didnt change SAD FACE :(

[ImaginationHelpDesk]

Why does my internet look retarted?

[deddokatana]

wheres the dock? why arent the window buttons on the right hand side? there should be a menu hack for the top left. but it looks good. only a few features off of a total conversion.

[MaisieIsAwesome]

@deddokatana You can actually do a dock

[marineman825]

@deddokatana fail, on mac os x window buttons are on the left -.-

[imacoolkid613]

I don't understand why you would want to do this lol, ubuntu already looks fricken awesome haha.

[EpicIsBrady]

Ubuntu kinda sucks... its a RAM hog. I like Linux Mint better.. but great tutorial.

[jfb112697]

[giovannierivera]

[Juilkca]

Why would you want your ubuntu to look like a mac? the whole point of ubuntu is so it can look like ubuntu (or your personal customization preference)

[MewingFugur]

@Juilkca Maybe you can't afford a Mac and you want something that looks like the UI. If that is your opinion though, why did you even watch this video.

[Dreadfultime]

@Juilkca well i think "personal customization preference" covers an OSX theme... duh

[Juilkca]

@Dreadfultime Right. Well, if you want a OSX theme, get a MAC. Otherwise, it gives the feeling that your wearing a knockoff.

[Dreadfultime]

@Juilkca i actualli like the theme, but hate the functionallity... this is a good solution. it is not about the os or the hardware, just the looks

[recklessroges]

@Juilkca and for some people that preference is....

[Zuul47]

the simplest way to install it is:

1.Extract

2. Open Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0

3. double-click Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0.sh and choose Run in Terminal

simple:)

[xZyPARADISE]

@Zuul47

lawl thx dude

[merkur32123]

@Zuul47 Lol, it's as simple as doing it in text mode.

[tommyrocko]

What's the specs on the pc (or laptop) your using? and what Linux version are you running?

[rifall]

Normally, it's customary to put directions in the description, instead of people bugging you about crappy full screen and asking you for text.

[3dytko3]

when i type in 'ls' to the terminal, it doesnt have the 'documents....' line and if i continue, how do i get two subsequent lines of text in w/out entering?

[576sheba]

Can skpye easily download on Mac4lin?

[starlitxeyes]

@576sheba yes, Mac4Lin is only a theme :) you are still running linux.

[xxpuresn1pexx]

i install the zip file since thats the one it lets me but once i get to the second part where i have to enter "ls" it only pops up with one thing and that is

Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0 __MACOSX and nothing in front of it or behind

[mastercheif462]

@kpggggp you fail.

[flubber760]

wat did u put in terminal i put full screen put i still cant get it

[chris3d165]

OK lynx come in different flavors and Ubuntu is one of them just to clear that up

[jacoblivesay]

why would you do this ubuntu is awesome the way it is if i want my computer to look like a mac i will just boot up either my 27 inch imac or my g4 ibook or my macbook pro unibody  l

[ConnorSchmitt]

@jacoblivesay this makes you a cocky ass hole, most people cant afford all that shit.

[jonmcc33]

@ConnorSchmitt

We can afford it. We just aren't as stupid as he is to buy something because it has an Apple logo on it.

[vietor33]

does this workwith linux mint?

[Epic457]

thats not linux tats ubuntu

[angrybanana666]

@Epic457 derp ubuntu is linux

[MDxm3000]

@Epic457: Linux is IN Ubuntu, it's the fraggin' kernel. THE CORE OF THE OS!

[kayakerocomar]

buenisimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kpggggp]

linux fails

[UbuntuLinuxKarmic]

@TheOnlyJacobChannel Windows doesn't use Unix. Linux and Mac OSX do use Unix, but windows uses a seperate kernal.

[71GA]

Linux for life... it ll soon sweep with both MACOS and windows! Only Google Chrome OS will maybee be competitive.

[MegaMarioUltimate]

Linux stole from Windows & Macintosh. It has the styles of Windows, and it has the styles of Macintosh. Look for yourself. If you take a good look at it, you will see.

[TheOnlyJacobChannel]

@MegaMarioUltimate  Actually did u know Windows and Mac run on Unix!!! So if Linux wasn't around that means theirs not Mac and Windows!!

[chiboribo]

You're basing pirating off of the look of an OS? Look has nothing to do with it. You could say that Chevy stole from Ford 'cause some of their cars look similar.

This isn't about art, it's about usability.

[gofudgeyourselfx]

im convinced that people wont be able to really get the full on mac look anymore...9.10 looks just like it but you cant mess with boot screens or log in screens....

[djxtermination]

I can still get the full mac look.

[rogerLOX]

@djxtermination how???

[braddudeguy]

What did you type into the terminal?

[ztth90]

Watch in full screen.

[jfb112697]

@ztth90 That doesn't help at all i still can't see give s answers

[WAOgilvy]

@braddudeguy mate well done to this guy, the best way to get the mac theme is by using macbuntu

[merkur32123]

@braddudeguy He just executed the install schript with './filename.sh'

[aiswat]

The avant bar thing is stupid!

[GuitarPlayax6699]

Dude i just installed Enbuntu and i have no idea what u said in termanal can u help"

[airreign]

So can you change it back to normal and how?

[ztth90]

Just run uninstaller. Its in mac4lin folder.

[JayandJenn07]

hey man the only file its letting me download is a .zip, does this matter?

[ztth90]

It doesn't matter.

[TheDicel]

What version of Linux?

[ztth90]

Ubuntu 8.04 but I have used also in my Ubuntu 9.04

[Extremepoors]

suomesta?

[ztth90]

Jeps

[maw88ify]

Yon for got to install the dock ... AWN dock .... >>>(( Avant Window Navigator ))

[dNullMe]

cairo-dock is better, more options and cooler graphics =)

[ztth90]

That's true.

[maw88ify]

[maw88ify]
