MBuntu (MacBuntu) 14.04 Transformation Pack Is Ready For Ubuntu 14.04

Mac OS (MBuntu) Transformation pack is ready for Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic/14.04 Trusty Tahr/Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca/17 Qiana
(Note: For best results use Unity/Gnome FallBack, and for previous Ubuntu versions link to posts are given)

Finally after a lot of work Mac OS X (Macbuntu Yosemite) transformation pack is ready for Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn/14.04 Trusty Tahr. We could make everything automated but in this way you guys won't get how things done in Linux, so we kept everything semi-automatic and interactive. This pack contains themes for GTK (supports: Unity, Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate, and Xfce), two themes for Gnome Shell, one theme for Cinnamon, one icon theme, cursors, and boot screen. I collected some parts for themes from different sources (Cinnamon, Gnome Shell theme from Yosemite Shell, some parts from Zukimac) and Jared from ravefinity helped us fixing bugs in themes, and some icons also collected from different sources[1], docky themes are Ambiance and Buyi-idock. Following these instructions you can completely change look of your Ubuntu 14.10/14.04 to look like Mac. In previous pack we used LightDM webkit theme which was quite similar to Mac login screen, this time we are offering again but you have to use it on your own risk because many users reported problems last time.

Mac packs for Linux are almost stopped but we kept this project on our list from 12.04, and now we have reached to 14.10 with Mac transformation. Many people look on the internet for pre-configured Macbuntu 14.10/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 that easily.

Note: If you encounter any bug in theme/icons/any stuff, report to us with screenshot or problem with details.

Mac OS X transformation pack is ready for Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy/Linux Mint 16. This transformation pack has been completed with collaboration of haniahmed (One Gnome Shell theme) and mbossg (One Gtk theme + two icon sets) both guys did really fine job. Mac themes for Linux are almost stopped but we kept this project on our list from 12.04, and now we release Mac transformation for every new Ubuntu release. Many people look over the internet for pre-configured Mac look like Macbuntu 13.10/Mac4lin, Mac Ubuntu theme and so on, but it is good idea to transform it by yourself because if you want to change to old/other look you can do that easily. This method of transformation doesn't use any excessive memory/CPU/and other resources.
This time NoobsLab is offering four Mac GTK themes, two Gnome Shell and one Cinnamon theme. Cinnamon theme isn't very close to Mac but it can give Mac feel to panel. This time we included three icon packs which are somewhat different from each other.
Note: If you encounter any bug in theme/icons/any stuff, Report us with screenshot or problem with details.

Pear OS 4 (Comice) is Released - Looks Like Mac

Pear OS is a French Ubuntu-based desktop Linux distribution. Some of its features include ease-of-use, custom user interface with a Mac OS X-style dockbar, and out-of-the-box support for many popular multimedia codecs.

Pear OS 4, a new version of the Ubuntu-based Linux distribution of many names, including Pear Linux or Comice OS, has been released: "Comice OS 4 - available now. New features at a glance: Comice OS Shell, Pear Appstore, Skype, LibreOffice. Pear Appstore is one of the most highlighted applications of Comice OS. Installing new application is just an one-click thing. It supports parallel downloading, resuming downloads, update notification and cache cleaning. Comice Shell is a modification of GNOME Shell according to visions of Pear Linux. Mission Control allows you to view running applications and the various workspaces used. Click the Launchpad icon in your dock and your open windows fade away, replaced by a view of all the applications on your PC. Each application is represented by an icon, and Launchpad creates as many pages of application icons as you need." See the release announcement and the features page for more information.
