Next, set an icon theme. Still within System / Preferences / Appearance click Install again. Now choose the Mac4Lin Icon Theme, again from the folder where you extracted Mac4Lin. You will now be prompted to apply the theme “OsX_ICONS.”

MacOS has some items on its top panel that GNOME, as found in popular distros like Ubuntu, doesn’t necessarily turn on by default. This will usually be the Search facility and sometimes the Network/WiFi icons.

There’s nothing to be concerned by; GNOME provides these options but they are simply not enabled on your system. Right-click on an empty area on the top panel and click Add to Panel.

Choose “Search for files and make sure “Network Monitor” is also applied.

Click System / Preferences / Appearance and Install once more. Now browse for the Mc4Lin Cursor Theme. You will be prompted to apply the theme “OSX_Cursors.” As you might guess, this sets MacOS-looking cursors.

We’re coming along well. The three themes will have made a drastic change already. Your windows, icons and cursors should have a familiar Mac style about them!

Now to set the top menu bar to take on the Leopard style. Close the Appearance Preferences dialog now.

Right-click on an empty area on the top panel and select Properties. Click the Background tab page. Select a background image and browse to your home directory.

Find the folder .themes. In there you will now have a new folder, named after the Mac4Lin theme set above. Open the folder gtk-2.0/Panel and select an image of your choice within that folder. There are a couple of options that are all equally apt.
