Getting Linux like Panther?
There was a Milk theme that was looking pretty good..and I think I have Siro but I'm not sure..I'm not in Linux right now so I don't know.
Linux can definitely look very much like OS X, as is evident by my desktop, though there aren't many people out there interested in it. As far as I know, I go as far as anyone in emulating it. Engage for the dock, ROX-Filer for the file manager, the rest is standard Gnome with customization.
All of that is very good.
But there is a real lack of theme in ................................................. KDE
(don't say KDE is evil and don't flame or engage a KDE/Gnome war. I just have many problems with sound in gnome (especially with cedega in gnome))
Where can I find those apps, Dominatus?
Which skins are you using Dominatus? Can you guide us where we can find them?
Cheers

It's not too much really
GTK Theme is Milk 2.1
Metacity Theme is Milk 2.1
Dock is Engage (www.enligthenment.org
The postit is a gDesklet
The icons are somewhere on this site
Rox-Filer can be found with a simple google search

KDE just doesnt have the flexibility of Gnome. Plain and simple.

i saw a file mananger wha thave functions like finder (the blue text for the type of the file and the size) where can i get it ?
And how do i change the icon size for bigger ones in gnome ?
Very good desktop! ![]()
X.Org is indeed the best X Server in my opinion. ![]()
People that use linux go towards speed and the best usability. Most linux users are programers so they dont have good taste per say. I think gtk2 is better. Soon enough the Cairo intergration will blow everyone away. Making linux even closer to OSX.

^^^^ Shows PERFECT examples of what can be possible with linux as of now and not in 2007.
For those who dont know Cairo is a vector based engine. If it does officially become apart of GTK (maybe by version 3
) we can see stuff like this

And Dream_Team the application you are refering to is *Thunar* witch is a GTK2 based file manager for Xfce. And yes it can be used in Gnome and E17 and every other window manager.
The thunar pic you saw was most likely a pic of a mockup that can be seen here

Linux BABY!! ![]()
If you guys are interested. Here is the wiki of the Thunar project.
More link about it.

There are some things there though I haven't sifted through it for all of the OSX type elements that may be in there.

What are the chances of getting a KDE version?
I mean, You can get KDE alot more like OS X than gnome...
Ive been asked that alot. I dont use kde so i have no need to make that version. thats up to a kde user ![]()
I have reached the point of desperacy, can someone plleeassse help me?
I've been searching day and night for like a week now, trying to figure out how I can get that stupid Engage docker bar running...to no avail. I even had Enlightenment running as a whole window manager for a while, but then I heard that it is not necessary for Engage.
I'm running Ubuntu 5.04 Hoary Hedgehog with Gnome 2.10 and some custom themes. Right now I'm running the StarterBar gDesklet, but from what I can see in screenshots, Engage is much better.
Anybody willing to help me out? I'd appreciate it...
cheers,
Shnazzle
Aye i agree i went through several destop managers trying to find a decent OSX style but all are decidingly average without any real style or proffesionalism.
@ Shnazzle
I don't know if this helps but I read somewhere you need the following dependencies to run Engage on Gnome -
ecore-cvs, edje-cvs, emotion-cvs , esmart-cvs, evas-cvs, ewl-cvs, examine-cvs
2 Dominatus
cannot you say how did you that menus on gnome-panel?
here is my current desktop, if someone is interested in:
apps are firefox'es download manager & fbpanel
So beautiful! Could you tell me the name of that gnome theme? ![]()
GTK2 is Glossy P
Metacity theme I made myself. But I saw the same in the Net.
PS If you like I can mail it you.
Great! KDE! What theme is that? Baghira? I have Mandriva (Mandrake 10.2) and I downloaded the RPM for it and installed it but can't get it to work quite right. What version am I supposed to use or is there a tutorial somewhere? Gnome-look and KDE-look and their affiliates are the best *nix theming sites around.
the tutorial is by me and yea you need baghira, go to the other *nix forum for more screen shot, i will post the tuto in english the next week
