The Plank DockĪpart from Unity, the other guides will assume you have Plank. New to cURL? Here are some useful things you can do with cURL.

If the commands don't work, make sure you've installed cURL first: sudo apt install curl The second command downloads a script that automatically installs and sets Gnome Yosemite as your icon theme. It doesn't work quite as intended out of the box, so you'll need this fix: sudo sh -c "curl | bash" This theme is based on the Numix Circle icon theme, which is installed first. (Note that if you're using a recent Debian-based distro, you may need to install software-properties-common to enable the add-apt-repository command.) The terminal commands below just focus on installing it: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:numix/ppa & sudo apt-get update Like application themes, the way to adjust them varies between desktops. The Gnome Yosemite icon theme closely matches the macOS appearance.

Later, you'll be able to select the theme from your distro's appearance tweaker. Make sure to place it in the /.themes/ folder! If you don't have wget, just copy the link into your browser and download it manually. If that's the case, just skip this command. You may already have a /.themes/ folder (you'll know if the terminal puts out an error). To download it, open a terminal and enter: mkdir $HOME/.themes A Linux theme called macOS Sierra does exactly that. Basic Themingīefore anything else, if you want your desktop to look like a Mac's, you'll need to install the right themes. In this guide we look at skinning Linux to look like a Mac using five desktop environments:īefore you get started, however, you need three things to make Linux look like macOS: a theme, the right icons, and a dock. However, it does depend on which desktop environment you're using.

Making Linux resemble the macOS desktop is reasonably straightforward.
