Mac4Lin - Mac transformation pack for GNOME
Hey guys, new here. I wanna share my work wid you. The project I'm working on: Mac4Lin - Mac transformation pack for GNOME
I am happy to announce the version 0.2 release of the Mac4Lin Project. Version 0.1 alpha has received an overwhelming response. People have used and liked it and the downloads (as on this day) have touched about 26GB!!! Lots of comments/suggestions/bugs were received and I have tried to iron out all the bugs known till this day. This update also brings a whole lot of new things. See the changelog for changes.
Special thanks to Victor of vsdigital for providing the Firefox Safari Skin and thanks to everyone who tested the version 0.1 alpha. Because of all this I'm giving version 0.2 stable to this release. Keep visiting the project website for more updates.
Apply it, flaunt it, enjoy it!

changelog:
Mac4Lin version 0.2, 17/09/2007
Icon updates
New firefox skin by Victor of vsdigital
Mac OS System Sounds
New Grub Screens
More Leopardish Emerald theme
Simdock source tarball included
Leopard Dock AWN theme updated
OS X Fonts and font enhancing guide
More Leopardish GTK Metacity theme

The project was conceived on a Ubuntu system. However since its dependent on GNOME it should run pretty fine on any GNOME based distro.

Congrats on your success. I'm not really looking for an emulation of Mac, but it may be fun to play with as a weekend project sometime. Having said that, how is this different than Lauri Taimila emulation of OSX? See this link:

Thanks

thanks for the compliment
well, actually i was inspired to work on this project by taimila's guide that guide is intended at emulating Mac OSX Tiger, while my project emulates the yet to be released Mac OSX Leopard. but most of the things haf been reworked which the resources mentioned in that guide lacked.

Mac4Lin version 0.3 Released!
24th October 2007
Mac4Lin is back! A new version, more changes, better looks and an overall more polished product. Please read changelog for information of changes in this version. It gives me immense pleasure to inform all that downloads have crossed 110 GB till date!
Mac4Lin now comes with a unified documentation in PDF format. Please go through this for illustrated installation instructions. Also some entities like GTK theme/Pidgin etc. now include two versions. Hence individual README files are only included if there is any need to convey release specific important information to the user which the generic documentation does not include. Read the README file for more details, in such cases.
With the release of GNOME 2.20, there have been issues reported with the Icon theme. Work is going on to make the theme compatible with GNOME 2.20 (found in OpenSUSE 10.3/Ubuntu 7.10 - Gusty etc.). There will be a separate release of Icon theme for GNOME 2.20. Users of this version can replace the original ver.0.3 Icon theme with the new one, which will be released soon after this release. GNOME version can be checked by clicking System Menu > About GNOME. Other components of this package are reported to work with GNOME 2.20. The installation of GTK Metacity theme and Cursors is almost same execpt that the Theme Manager in GNOME 2.20 has a new look.
Thanks to Victor Hugo Casals for the Safari skin, M.Lettner for the panel backgrounds, Calande for the font guide, Mitko for nm-applet icons, Vish for Grub and Buu700 for Usplash screens. I also thank all those who tested the pack and everyone who are directly or indirectly involved in this project.
Apply it, flaunt it, enjoy it!

It looks really good, but try to fix that 'stacks' curve.
