Typical Linux - cheap imitation with poor fit and finish :(

I'll take it that you've never used Linux. And by use, I mean for more than a week.

I've never been much for OSX imitations on Linux but I am actually impressed by this. I was expecting something different but from your screenshots you've done very well and I may install this on my test box just to see this in action.

i did just this. its pretty nice. i may ditch awn for slimdock though because awn is very slow for me for some reason. i also used xompmgr rather than compiz-fusion because im in no need of all the 'cool' stuff that gives you. my result is this. http://img61.imageshack.us/my.php?image=macwn8.png

Very nice.

I would suggest including the firefox widget controls that have been made to make firefox look nicer. I don't think any OSX ones exist (although I doubt they would be hard to come up with) but here is a screenshot of what they look like:

I'm not much into firefox themeing and stuff. Can you shed some light on it?

It's not really a theme; they're called "widgets." Apparently firefox uses a css file to display the appearance of buttons, listboxes, checkboxes, etc. A guy wrote a css to make the default ones look better, which are ugly as sin. I use a script that I've made myself to do the job for me (they're reset every time you update firefox) but I originally went by this site.

Mac4Lin version 0.4

18th December 2007

Your favorite Mac4Lin is back! A new version, more changes, better looks and an overall more polished product. Please read changelog for information of changes in this version. It gives me immense pleasure to inform all that downloads have crossed 2.6 TB till date!

Please go through the Documentation for illustrated installation instructions. Also some entities like GTK Metacity theme etc. now include two versions. Hence individual README files are included only if there is a need to convey release specific information which the generic documentation does not include. Please read the README file for more details in such cases.

Apply it, flaunt it, enjoy it!

Hi !

Hey, I am getting a dumb problem... I'm using Ubuntu to test-drive your themes... But when I try to "install" the theme, it says "Theme correctly installed" but never show up in my themes window...

What has gone wrong ?

Thanks.

Yes you need to individually install each component. If thats not possible then just extract the individual .tar.gz files to their respective folders (gtk theme in ~/.themes, icons and cursors in ~/.icons, emerald theme in ~/.emerald/themes etc.)

Pretty cool looking theme. How can I set it up to work on my 10 year old GNOME SuSE 10.3 box? Here are its specs: Pentium III 550, 384 MB, 40 GB HDD, 8 MB ATI Rage 128 with NO XGL SUPPORT, 16x DVD Burner, OpenSuSE 10.3 with GNOME.

Bump.

Got everything working fine except firefox. Whenever I try dragging the supplied extentions/themes they say they are not compatible. I've tried disabling the checks on about:config, but the error still appears.

So what version of firefox is intended for Mac4lin 0.4 ?

Mac4Lin is back!

This is the version 1.0 Release Candidate. Some components are still under development. Currently the shell script is not able to set the GDM theme, cursor theme, sounds, emerald theme. They need to be manually set.

Also components like Firefox3, Thunderbird theme, awn theme/plugins etc. are still under development. The Mozilla themes may not be stable. Hence use the non-core components of Mac4Lin at your own risk. Documentation is still in the pipeline. I decided to release the RC anyway so that patrons can start using it and update to the stable version when development is complete.

Whats new: Mac4Lin v1.0 RC - 9th September, 2008

New! Automated Installer in the form of a shell script

New GDM theme

Supports the newest version of GNOME and Xfce

New Mozilla themes specifically built for Mac4Lin

Adium style AWN status icons for Pidgin

Mac style scrollbars, menus

Other tweaks in GTK theme

Adium sounds for Pidgin

New usplash

Keeping up the tradition I'm including the download stats. SF.net alone has served about 10.4TB as on today! I'm also happy to announce that Mac4Lin was one of the winners of FOSS Awards 2008.

Instructions:

Download the Mac4Lin_v1.0_RC.tar.gz archive to any folder. Extract the archive and run Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh file.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
