MacBuntu 16.04 Transformation Pack for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus
Mac OS X (MacBuntu) Transformation pack is ready for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus
(Note: With this transformation pack we are targeting multiple desktops for Macbuntu transformation, MacBuntu pack is compatible with Unity, Gnome Shell, Cinnamon, Mate and Xfce. Link to previous MacBuntu versions are also linked below for previous Ubuntu releases)
MacBuntu (Macbuntu
Yosemite/El Capitan) transformation pack is ready for Ubuntu 16.04
Xenial. This pack contains themes for GTK (which supports: Unity,
Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate and Xfce two themes dark & light for Gnome
Shell, two themes for Cinnamon, two icon packs, cursors. There are
some issues with 16.04 where it make some parts of the pack useless:
1) boot/splash we do not recommend you to install boot screen
because there is a known bug for plymouth but we are still sharing,
if you want to give it a shot; 2) Login screen, it is only
offered for Ubuntu Unity and Ubuntu Gnome users but if you have
multiple desktops then you can't choose and another known problem, if
you remove lightdm-webkit then you will have blank screen, to solve
this issue you have to install other display manager, so better to
not install it. 3) Slingscold which is known as launchpad, it
does work on some desktops but it may don't work for some users and
you may see blank launcher.
Themes used in this pack contains some parts from
other sources credit also goes to these guys dark
and other icon theme Mine,
some code from white)
and Jared from Ravefinity
helped us in making of this transformation pack by fixing bugs in
themes. In this pack we are offering Plank dock themes because it
works without any issue unlike other docks. By following these
instructions you can change look of your Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial to look
like Mac. In previous packs we used LightDM webkit theme which looks
quite similar to Mac OS X login screen, this time we are offering
again but you have to install it on your own risk because we
experienced a lot of issues after installing it (like: not able to
login/blank screen).
As you know guys we are doing Mac packs from quite
sometime because such packs for Linux are almost stopped but we kept
this project on our must do list from 12.04, and as you know we have
reached to 16.04 with Mac transformation. Many people look on the
internet for pre-configured Macbuntu 16.04/Mac4lin, Mac Ubuntu theme
and so on, but it is good idea to transform it by yourself because if
you want to go back to default look or want to change look, you can
do it easily. By offering this pack no hate or infringing behavior is
intended, simply designed for those who don't want to use Mac or
can't use Mac for any reason.
Note: If you encounter any bug in
theme/icons/any stuff, report to us with screenshot or problem with
details.
