My New MacOSX-like Desktop

Friday, August 29, 2008 By kevmille

For some odd reason, many Linux users have been configuring their Linux desktops to look exactly like Apple’s Leopard desktop.  After reading this tutorial, http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-hardy-to-mac-osx-leopard/2008/07/23, I decided to give it a try on my Thinkpad T60.

The tutorial was fairly good and straightforward.  I had no problems making my desktop look exactly like an Apple desktop.  After I got everything to work, I decided to convert part of the Apple theme back to Ubuntu‘s theme.  I kept the nice dock and screenlets, even parts of the top menu replacing Apple’s logo with Ubuntu’s.

Since I am a fan of Firefly, I replaced Apple’s wallpaper with an image of Serenity.  Now I have a nice, clean, and simple desktop.

    You probably enabled more than one globalmenu since it disappears. I had to delete all of them and then add it.

    Also, make sure you change the background image as per the tutorial.

    Remember, the globalmenu will only appear when a window is open. It is okay but I want to see how I can edit it. Many menus from my other applications disappear for some odd reason.
