MacOSX Skin on Ubuntu Linux

Anyone who has seen my desktops knows that I’m a big fan of the MacOSX sleek design, however much prefer the flexibility and freedom of Ubuntu. Even on windows, I’d rather install cygwin and skin my operating system using FlyAKiteOSx. That said, I had never been able to really emulate this feel on linux, and as much as I love the advanced compiz effects manager, I missed the sleakness of the window settings that come with Mac Designs. I found a really good walk through however that shows how to customize your Ubuntu desktop to look like OSx leopard, and by the screen shots below, you can see it does a pretty decent job. It also looks really cool with the compiz cube effect, which I wasn’t able to capture in a screenshot. Not bad eh? Now I have that bandwagon feel, without the over head and lame usage of a proprietary operating system! So next time you think someone is on the ‘mac bandwagon’. Think twice!
