# Mc-OS-themes

(Formerly known as Gnome-OSC-themes) 



This is a repository that contains Mac OS-themes for the Linux-Gnome desktop made by PaulXFCE (myself)



These are high end and thorougly developed GTK-themes for the gnome desktop (3.20+ through 3.28) that interpretes the Mac Os themes to the gnome-environment. 



In the latest version (McOS-MJV)  I've modernized it in every little detail. There is nothing (not a single item) that is not new. Resulting in a completely rewritten GTK.CSS-file.  it also contains the dark-mode (for applications that use it)



The dark-mode is also available as a seperate theme (McOS-MJV-Dark-Mode), which has the benifit of having GTK2-applications enjoy the same dark mode. 

 

## McOS-MJV



This is a gnome-interpretation of the Mac OS Mojave (TM) desktop, with the benifit of the dark mode

## How to install:



First: Download the file; extract it; and somethimes you will find two themes. a version with transparency, another with (not-transparent); copy both files to a '.themes'-folder you make in your home directory. Or to your USR/SHARE/THEMES-folder for system-wide use (certainly for theming of SNAP-packages)

Then use Tweak-tool to select the GTK and shell theme.

LOG OUT AND BACK IN for changes to take effect !



Second: McOS uses titlebuttons on the left-side:

To put the buttons to the left open a terminal:



gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout "close,minimize,maximize:"



To put the buttons back to the right in case you want to revert:



gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ":minimize,maximize,close"



In Gnome 3.26+ gnome-tweak has a option to change the position of the titlebuttons, so the above steps are not necessary. 



## Troubleshouting



When, as such, theming does not look the way it should be: make sure you have installed the necessary theme-"engines":



- The gnome-themes-standard package,

- The murrine engine. This has different names depending on your distro.

gtk-engine-murrine (Arch Linux)

gtk2-engines-murrine (Debian, Ubuntu, elementary OS)

gtk-murrine-engine (Fedora)

gtk2-engine-murrine (openSUSE)

gtk-engines-murrine (Gentoo)



sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf is the terminal command, usually solves the issues with GTK2.
