Mac Classic Platinum

Description:

Classic Apple look for this Gnome 2 theme; in fact is the 1st Developer Preview of MacOS X... just enjoy.

My recomandation is to use Charcoal/Virtue and Helvetica/Terminus fonts.
Please take a look about how the theme looks like, before posting any comment or even rating it.
Thanks, and GBY!

Any idea how I can make the window borders work in mate(ubuntu 16.04)? They aren't, but everything else is. They are the only part I really care about. Screenshots look awesome. good work.

ah, I changes from compiz to something else and it worked. So I guess my question is how to make it work with compiz. Thanks

Really beautiful theme. I hope you'll make a GTK3 version some day.

Great work! I like it. What icons should I use to make it feels real Mac classic?

Hi, glad you like it!
Unfortunately, there isn't any Icon Theme for Linux to have a "real Mac classic" look... I didn't found anything untill now...

For more full Mac similarity font antialiasing should be turned off :)
Well, I can't understand why someone could want such look ;)

It's all about to finding the best combination with best results in font rendering (best look and best speed), I think.

Other possible sollution is to change the font resolution setting to 86 or 90 dpi (depends on your screen capabilities; normally, Ubuntu set automatically this setting), this under Appearance Preferences -> Fonts -> Details -> Resolution
Maybe your resolution is low (like 72 or so) and that's for you couldn't be able to change the font size...

Yes, I got the idea: uncomment all lines that begins with
font_name...
so all those lines should come
# font_name...
That's all; anyway I suggest Charcoal and Helvetica fonts.
