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:

Thats a sweet desktop :)

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.

    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
