Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Today we will begin with Apple’s MacOS X, specifically its “Leopard” style. This is fairly regarded by many as aesthetic, with a dock at the bottom of the screen that is used to launch common apps. Some of the dock buttons can represent a folder, depicting its contents as a stack of items.
A single menu bar adorns the top of the screen. This is used by the system and by all applications. Program title bars have four system icons, which close the program, minimise it and to tweak its horizontal and vertical space.
There are a few steps required to perform a convincing Mac transformation but pleasantly the bulk of the work has been done for us, as part of the SourceForge project called Mac4Lin, ie Mac for Linux.
Check out the picture at the bottom of this page. That’s not a Macintosh but you’d be excused for thinking so. Instead it’s a pretty convincing Linux transformation. Mac4Lin gives you everything to make that desktop yours - with one notable exception.
The Apple logo in the top-left corner is trademarked and copyright. A suitable Apple icon is not included. You will need to supply one yourself, but that’s all.
Download Mac4Lin and extract its contents. It is not a self-installing program but a collection of files. Make sure to note where you extract it.
First, there is a visual theme. Click System / Preferences / Appearance. On the Theme tab click Install. Browse to the extraction point and choose the Mac4Lin GTK Metacity Theme file. You will be prompted whether you wish to apply the theme “Leopard.” Do so.
That’s not all, but soon your Linux PC will be pimped out like the one below.
