You can make your Ubuntu look exactly like OS X.

Some screenshots:

Just add the Macbuntu PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/macbuntu
sudo apt-get update

and install the following packages.

  • For themes, icons and cursors

    sudo apt-get install macbuntu-os-icons-lts-v7 macbuntu-os-ithemes-lts-v7
    
  • To install Slingscold Launcher

    sudo apt-get install slingscold
    
  • For Spotlight

    sudo apt-get install albert
    
  • For Plank dock

    sudo apt-get install plank macbuntu-os-plank-theme-lts-v7
    

Finally install some tweak tools to select mac theme:

sudo apt-get install unity-tweak-tool gnome-tweak-tool

And for final touch install these mac wallpapers.

Done.

    I am very fond of macbooks so I wanted to revamp my Ubuntu to look like a mac desktop.

    Please suggest a suitable theme/skin with minimum bugs.
