Great effort. But why not just install Lin-X and have the look and feel of Leopard without the extra installation procedures? I have Lin-X and it works just fine. After all, it is based off Ubuntu 8.10.

yes were able to do it, except for the USPLASH because 9.10 KARMIC KOALA uses usplash no more, instead it uses the newer XSPLASH

Yes were able to do it. The thing with the usplash is that, its no longer being used by 9.10 , instead they use XSPLASH.

HEY GUYS , good news, this trick even works for UBUNTU 9.10 KARMIC KOALA, I got all the effects entailing the trick except for the usplash which is being shown when the system boots up, because 9.10 no longer uses usplash, but instead, xsplash. Even more, i still get to have my compiz animation and effects work without problem. SO ITS LIKE MAC OS LEOPARD plus compiz. THANKS and appreciation and praises goes to the author of this program.

I have just seen that you have converted your ubuntu 9.10 into leopard. I am having problems with this. Which is the home folder that you placed the newly downloaded files into? Also did you have to change the name from hardy to karmic?

Best regards
Mike

First, I want to thank Damien for putting this together. I’ve tried the Hardy version and so appreciate this one :D.

Yes. These instructions will work with Karmic Koala. I just did it, and am now enjoying it. Everything works as it should, except I can’t get the apple boot up splash and login, as seen in the screen shots. I’m still getting the Karmic’s Ubuntu spot light and login screens, even I’ve read and followed the instructions for the last part a few times :D. During boot up, I can see the “splashy: Error connecting.”

Another thing I tried to avoid is following everything here to the dot, since it was for Intrepid. Where ever possible, I tried to use Karmic packages instead. For example, the gnome global menu, splashy, etc. You’ll have less conflicts with package dependencies, and they play nice with each other ;). Btw, the font Bitstream Vera Sans Roman is not available.

Will this work with Karmic Koala?

Cheers, Hal

First of all thanks for the amazing theme !

But i have a small problem with my top menu. The bacground image for the top menu is not shown behind the “applications, places and system”. Their background colour is grey. How can i solve this problem.

Can.

After installing Xcompmgr and trying to start Avant-window-navigator I get this:

Warning:Screen isn’t composited. Please run compiz (-fusion) or another compositing manager. If I

ps ax | grep xcompmgr

the process is not running. Compiz is not running either.

When I then load xcompmgr the AWN appears briefly at bottom then disappears and the Screen isn’t composited message appears again (3 dialog boxes).

Grep still shows process as not running. How do I tell what compositer is running?

probably with the following command:

sudo apt-get remove avant-window-navigator

sudo apt-get remove –purge avant-window-navigator (too remove packages and config files too)

Tried this with Debian. Mostly worked, but had trouble with gnome-globalmenu. It would only show the menu that either says “Desktop” or the title of the program, but not the rest of the menu. Also, while some programs were really beautiful, others (such as synaptic) had the old, blocky default GTK theme, which is absolutely ugly and Windows 95-like.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I was just looking for just one Mac OS X feature I wanted on my ubuntu, the “Exposé for all windows”, default to F9 key: http://guides.macrumors.com/Expos%C3%A9

This seems like a very nice guide, too bad it ain’t automated or else I’d try it. Anyway, I found it out by myself and so I just wanted to say you forgot to mention “Scale windows” on Compiz, that does exactly that: Expose on Ubuntu. ;)
