macOS look for Ubuntu MATE

The OSX El Capitan mouse cursors is my favorite theme at the moment. There are two drawbacks, however: The theme doesn't install from the KDE control panel (it comes with an installer script which you have to run manually). The theme seems to be incomplete I finally addressed those issues... Install the Cursor Scheme Download the theme (most current version) from gnome-look.org . Extract it and copy it so that is available for all users, especially for the login screen: t ar xvjf ~/Downloads/OSX-ElCap-\(KDE\).R2.tar.bz2  sudo mv OSX-ElCap-\(KDE\)/OSX-ElCap /usr/share/icons/ sudo chown -R root:root /usr/share/icons/OSX-ElCap/ Fix Missing Cursors I wrote a small Python script to create the missing links. I might add another few links in the future and I didn't want to have a ln -s cascade somewhere. Instead, I prefer adding another key/value pair to a hashmap and let the script do all the work... #!/bin/python import os, sys CURSOR_THEME = "/usr/share/...

A Sunday morning well spent. I finished part 2 of my instructions to make Manjaro KDE look like macOS . Have a look, enjoy and maybe try it yourself.

Looking back at the configuration it didn't seem to be that much. However, when writing up all the steps, taking screenshots, taking care of every detail, I soon discovered that I will need more than one page to describe all the customization. Anyway, I just finished  part 1 if making (Manjaro) KDE look like macOS. Have a look and maybe you'll try it yourself...

I have customized Ubuntu MATE to look like MacOS for quite a while now. I found a comment on Gnome Look including a lovely screenshot of a panel. This one is looking far better, especially the notification area: So, now I'm working on customizing Manjaro KDE. Made good progress so far - once I'm done I'll provide detailed instructions, just as I did for Ubuntu MATE . Update: Here is the first part of making (Manjaro) KDE look like macOS .

I have always liked the Apple design and finally someone in my town decided to sell one - quick and easy decision 😀. So I now had the display on my desk, connected via to my laptop via Display Port - great display, almost better sound. But I couldn't control brightness nor use the iSight camera, so I set to work. Check out the results: Using Apple LED Cinema Display in Ubuntu MATE .
