*Facepalm* What the fuck is this failure? Mac4Lin 1.0 is about to be released in a few days.

Applied this to my older laptop and gave it to my mom. Result: pleased.
I wouldn't use it myself, but that doesn't mean someone else couldn't be happy with it.

I don't get all these nay sayers. It's just a theme. I like the look of it but prefer linux in general. Just because people are changing the theme does not mean they want to use Mac.
Linux is Linux, Mac is Mac and Windows is Windows despite the look or feel. This is like people argueing that using X on a nix is stupid. People can use what ever the hell they like and it's just good that Linux gives them the option to do so. It proves it versatility.
Apologies for the poor spelling.

Why bother.
Mac is not better, just a follower in this respect.
Mandriva stays put and so does Ubuntu.
You want a Mac, buy one. Why be a look alike.

And when you decide to (try to) go back to a more standard theme you'll have to undo the font aliasing that was put in place. With this:
cd /etc/fonts
sudo rm alias.conf local.conf misc.conf msfonts-rules.conf

Although I will most likely not use the Leopard theme, it is great to see just how flexible Ubuntu really is! Great tutorial though for anyone interested. Great job!

I successfully got this to work on an actual machine. I appears that this tutorial, as far as i can tell or want to figure out :), will not work on a virtual machine, virtualbox specifically.
Great work!

Good stuff. So, I decided to follow your steps on a brand new install. Everything worked like a charm, except the usplash screen. Any ideas?

I unfortunately got to agree with trev....
Most people spend all their time making everything look nice, i personally would rather go through the hassle of installing mac os x86 then faking an ubuntu installation to kinda half look like leopard..

Well written tutorial - but the sad fact remains that there is such a demand of changing the default Ubuntu desktop at all.
The current brownish theme is disturbing, to say the least, for most of new Linux users or wannabee users. I dont understand why the Ubuntu Artwork Team does not get this. Ubuntu is losing hundreds of thousands new users because of its dead ugly desktop appearance.
BTW, your captcha is really hard to read even for humans.....
