Really good conversion. i like it.

Would it be possible to make those pretty scrollbars that were in cheetah and panther releases with gtk3? All i have seen by most authors in terms of scrollbars is rather sad and ugly flat looking things.

nevermind my previous question. i can confirm that this works in mint 12.
what i'm trying to do now is have this on a 10.04 or 10.10 machine. what do i have to do? when i try it, it cannot find the gtk+ theme osx. the window border works but not the controls. any suggestions?

I think the Adwaita Cupertino theme (SL variant) has gone a long way along this road.
The only apparent difference in this theme seems to be the (OSX-like) background color in the Nautilus sidepane. But this poses a problem at the top and top-right due to the design of Nautilus.
Perhaps joining efforts could help find efficient solutions to issues like this.

that option is included in Advaita-Cupertino since the beginning
in fact this theme is Adwaita cupertino 1.3.8 (only renamed the original)

motivated by parasites like this I canceled the project Adwaita-Cupertino, in which I worked over 250 hours of my free time

Yes I'am agree with you, and the shell theme is the Shell-osx renamed.

Sorry for the double post

This package comes from the FakeOSX release (now FreeOSX), it is all under GPL license so you must precise the source.

I'am in relation with the creator of FreeOSX and it isn't you.

" ... it is all under GPL license so you must precise the source."
In the post I see no reference to the authorship of the themes.

On the other hand, if you would have contacted me, I would have been delighted to help keep the updated package, for me the game is over, I do not want to keep discussing the obvious

Enjoy it

(excuse my bad English and could not express myself as I would like)

" ... it is all under GPL license so you must precise the source." I said this to Pch76 not to you Trastes.

("I'm in relation with the creator of FreeOSX and it isn't you.") was also for Pch76

I'm the author of Shell-osx also included in the pack.

I just commented that concerns me. I am the author of Adwaita-Cupertino (Included in this package).

Finally, you can do whatever he wants. But I have no motivation to continue working on Adwaita-Cupertino.
