Jimmy, you can only install the Mac theme on Windows 7, this can be either Windows 7 32-bit or Windows 7 64-bit. I thought it would be obvious, because it say Windows 7 Mac Theme. Anyway, I will be looking into this and find a Windows XP Mac theme for you. Mac Desktop Themes Software Desktop Themes v.1.89 A Desktop Theme is a collection of wallpaper, mouse pointers, sound effects, colors, fonts, screensavers and startup/shutdown screens, all bundled together into a convenient package. A Windows Theme is a visual pattern that predefines the collection of wallpaper, icons, pointer, screensaver, sounds or any color styles which together form the looks of your PC. You have the options to customize the themes to your likings and modify the standard interface of your Windows PC.
It would be a lie if we say that Mac OS isn’t a beautiful operating system. This working environment, full of details and beauty is great when it comes to boosting your productivity. However, I guess you want to do some basic or maybe heavy customization. If so, you’ve come to the right place. If you didn’t know, Mac has a whole set of themes that are tailored to its simplistic and eye-catching interface that we all know. In today’s article, our topic will be some of the best themes for your Mac OS device. Stay tuned, as we are going to count ten of them, so let’s do this.
1. Amora
Amora is one of the best themes out there and it’s easily one of the most authentic themes I’ve ever seen. The reason for this is its white color that’s perfectly combined with a touch of red and black, giving this theme a futuristic look, for a giant eyegasm. The best of all is that this is a ShapeShifter theme, meaning that it’s going heavy on the overall customization, so everything’s being changed. Available in Onyx and Pearl variations, this one’s going to be amazingly good. Be sure to check it out, you won’t regret it!
2. Siro
Siro is another great theme that’s somewhat tiny, yet delivers a fatal blow. Aside from this fatal blow that will, fortunately, not kill your laptop, Siro packs a beauty of your first love. Again, we are talking about a futuristic theme that does its best of not overwhelming its user with tons of less-needed stuff. We have an authentic LED style highlight behind elements and the whole theme looks somewhat… well, plastic or maybe metallic, call it however you want! One is sure- Siro is one of the best themes for your Mac laptop, so you know what to do.
3. Neon
Unlike Amora and Siro, Neon takes quite a sleek and professional approach to its design. I mean, these two themes are also professional but Neon really takes it to another level. So, no LED design, no colorful stuff and definitely not the same “mood” like these two. So, what exactly is Neon? Well, it’s a theme for users that like an eye-catching aluminum finish with an interesting, concave upper left corner. As Apple says, their laptops will have those concave corners, so it’s pretty clear that Neon is made to support this interesting feature. We just have to wait a few years for this feature.
4. Umaso
Speaking of beautiful aluminum cover, Umaso is another theme that sports these visuals. Again, we are dealing with the good, old plastic look that gives a sense of… well, plastics! Needless to say that this theme works wonders and looks great. Otherwise, it wouldn’t hit the main page of our list! All in all, Umaso is for those users that like their interface simple, sleek, and elegant, yet functional and beautiful.
5. Somatic
Somatic is a cartoonish theme that’s all but professional. But, wait! We had four professional themes on our list since now? Since you’ve probably got tired of being a professional guy, Somatic is here to refresh your field of view, at least when you look at your laptop’s screen. So, how exactly this theme looks? It’s definitely colorful, cartoonish, yet functional and simple. We have a basic blue color here which looks nice and the icons are cool too. Overall, it’s a nice change from the more “serious” themes.
6. Milk
If you milk the cow, you’ll get some milk. But, if you milk the Milk, you’ll get nothing but a great theme for your Mac OS laptop. If you think better, the milk is white, isn’t it? Unless you get a chocolate milk, which is even better! Since this is an ordinary Milk, we have a simple white color with different color tints, for breaking the monotony. Furthermore, it’s available for Magnifique, making it a bit more versatile. You can’t go wrong with Milk and milk, too.
7. Pro LCD
If you’ve owned a classic, old-school iPod, it’s time to mention that you aren’t that young anymore! And if you really liked your good boy, it’s great to know that you can recreate the same feeling you had back then with Pro LCD theme. With the brown, white, and green color that’s been on iPod’s display back in the day, Pro LCD will perfectly encapsulate that nostalgic feeling. This theme needs no special introduction as you all know how great it is, just by reading the words!
8. Eylo
Eylo is a theme that many of you will dig after the first glance. Do you know why? It’s because it looks freaking great! If you’ve played Halo game series, you’ll immediately recognize this theme. It’s a bright theme that packs a nice, gentle blue color and looks fairly futuristic. I know that it’s not for every user, but a true gamer will find this theme more than attractive.
9. V23
V23 might sound simple and straight to the point, and if it sounds like that to you, you aren’t wrong by any means! Unlike some glossy and shiny themes, V23 comes with a nice matte appearance that will ring some bells here and there. Color-wise, V23 has two of them – black and yellow. If you ask me, these two colors make one of the best color combos I’ve ever had the chance to behold. And yeah… it still manages to look quite professional, if that’s what you need.
10. Mistikons
Our last entry on the list is a theme called Mistikons. I’m not sure if the developer is trying to warn as of misty weather, but this theme isn’t misty by any means. In fact, it’s a very subtle theme that you can easily download and install. When it comes to the colors, we don’t have a huge plethora of them but we have a nice dark and light menu bar that should look great on your Mac OS. If you don’t like a heavy customization, this one’s perfect for you.
Love it or hate it, Apple’s macOS has carved its place in the PC market, even more after the iPhone. One of the many advantages of using Linux though is that you have the freedom to make it look like anything you fancy. Follow the steps given below to install mac OS theme on your KDE Plasma desktop.
Being a Linux user doesn’t mean you have to loathe macOS or Windows. In fact, many people dig the look of Windows or macOS but simply don’t want to invest in buying them. The reasons can be several, but we won’t be discussing those here. Rather, let’s discuss how you can make your KDE Plasma desktop to look and feel like MacOS.
1. Top Panel
KDE Plasma looks more like Windows, by default than Mac. Some other desktop environments give more of a Mac feel with a top panel that houses the time/date, system tray, etc. Yet, it’s KDE Plasma that can replicate MacOS’s menu bar the best, as far as I know. In the screenshot above you can see the default KDE panel at the bottom, and a customized panel at the top that looks like the menu bar on a Mac. Before we can change anything, make sure widgets are unlocked.
System tray
- Right-click anywhere on the desktop and select Add panel > Application menu bar. This will add a white bar at the top of your screen. The panel you see in screenshots is the finished product and sadly I’m not willing to undo it all so …
- Click on the hamburger menu icon (three horizontal lines) on the very right and drag the Height button up or down to increase or decrease the height of the top panel to your liking.
- When you have the desired height, you can start adding widgets. Right-click anywhere and select Add widgets.
- Select the system tray from the Widgets and drag it to the very right of the top panel to place it. Do the same with the clock widget and add anything you want really. You can use the bottom panel as a guide or the screenshot above if you’re not sure which widgets to place.
Note
- The system tray widget contains all the necessary icons which will appear when needed as it happens on Windows. I prefer adding each of the system tray icons manually because it gives more of a Mac look and is also less cluttered.
- In the screenshot above, right-to-left, the widgets are – Search, Lock/Logout, User Switcher, Simple Date and Time (you’ll have to download this one), Bluetooth, Networks, Audio Volume, Device Notifier, Clipboard, KDE Connect, Notifications, Weather widget. I’ve added Pager in order to easily switch between different virtual desktops, a trash widget, and a Netspeed widget as well but you can ignore those.
macOS-like Global menu
On the very left of the panel, add an Active Window Control Widget (might have to download it), next to it add the Global Menu widget. Unfortunately, I can’t show you how to space them but you’ll probably figure out how far or close you like those two on your own.
When you’re done, you might want to remove the bottom panel because you won’t be needing that. To do that click on the hamburger menu on the bottom panel, select More Settings… > Remove Panel.
Desktop Themes For Microsoft
macOS Dock for KDE Plasma
The other quite popular component of a Mac desktop is the dock at the bottom that houses all your favorite and currently open apps. The dock is not that hard to replicate though and can even be done on Windows with quite a perfection. Linux has many options such as Docky, Plank, and my favorite Cairo. You can use either you want, but you will need Mac themes for either one before it starts to look anything like the one in the screenshot above.
I’m using Cairo dock with a Mac theme (credit: sean barman). To install the theme on Cairo dock, right-click anywhere on the dock and select Cairo > Configure. Select Themes, then drag and drop the downloaded file to where it says …or drag and drop a theme package here: then click on Apply.
Icons and Cursor
Free Desktop Themes For Mac
There are so many MacOS icon packs and cursor themes for Linux that you can download and install and any of those will work fine. You can download the ones linked below if you’re having trouble finding them.
Extract the files and place the extracted folders in ~/.local/share/icons/
macOS Themes for KDE Plasma
By now your desktop must look like Mac but the menu bar is still quite white which is not how it looks on the Mac. Not to mention any apps you open must look completely off with the default KDE theme. To change that, go to System Settings > Workspace Theme > Desktop Theme and click on Get New Theme. Install and Apply Breeze Transparent, Breeze Transparent with Antu icons or Breeze transparent panel which I am using because it makes the top panel more transparent than the others. The downside is that the other themes also make a few other parts of the UI transparent, while this one doesn’t.
While you’re at it, you can also apply the Cursor Theme.
Next, go to SystemSettings > Application Style and select Breezemite, then head over to System Settings > Icons and select your Mac icon pack.
Desktop Theme Mac Os X
That’s pretty much the gist of it although there still remain a few tweaks and modifications you can do to make it even better or just suit your style. Do you know that you can restart your KDE Plasma desktop with even rebooting? Read our tutorial to learn how to do that!
