Before we dig into the tutorial, let's see how my Manjaro 18.0 with Mac theme looks like. I am using Manjaro 18.0 GNOME edition which is great.
Well, it is not perfect but I think these are the best Mac OS theme for Linux. I tried several version but still, I am in love with this one.
So, which theme and how to use it?
OK, first, have a look at this article and download required files from there. Or, you can click the link below to download the files directly:
- Sierra-light.tar.xz : The Mac OS X GTK3 theme light version
- Sierra-dark.tar.xz : The Mac OS X GTK3 theme dark version (as shown above)
- MacOSX-icon-theme.tar.xz : Mac OS X Icon theme
- HighSierra-Wallpapers.tar.xz : Mac OS X High Sierra Wallpapers
- MacOSX-cursors.tar.xz : Mac OS X cursor
- Fonts-MyriadSetPro.tar.xz : Mac OS X fonts
There are some other themes such as Sierra-light-thin version, please check out the original website for more information.
How to Install
Install GTK Themes
First, let's install the GTK3 themes we just downloaded. Extract the Sierra-light.tar.xz and Sierra-dark.tar.xz. It will produce new folders : sierra-light and sierra-dark. And then move the extracted folders to /usr/share/themes. You can use the following command to move the folders.
sudo mv sierra-light /usr/share/themes
sudo mv sierra-light /usr/share/themes
At this point, we have successfully installed the Mac OS X Sierra GTK themes on Manjaro 18.0.
Install Mac OS X Icon Theme
Next, extract the file MacOSX-icon-theme.tar.gz. It will produce a new folder called MacOSX. You need to move this folder to /usr/share/icons.
sudo mv MacOSX /usr/share/icons
In case you don't know how to extract the .tar.xz files, you can use this command
tar -xvf MacOSX-icon-theme.tar.xz
At this point, we have successfully installed Mac OS X icon theme on Manjaro.
Install Mac OS X Cursor
Now, we are going to install the Mac OS X cursor. Extract the file MacOSX-cursor.tar.xz and move the content of extracted folder to /usr/share/themes.
tar -xvf MacOSX-cursors.tar.xz
cd MacOSX-cursors
sudo mv capitaine-cursors /usr/share/themes
Please note that we need to move the capitaine-cursors subfolder, not the MacOSX-cursors folder.
Install Mac OS X Fonts
Extract the Myriadset font and you will see some fonts like this:
To install the fonts, simply double-click each font and then click the install button. That's it, now we are ready to configure Manjaro using Gnome Tweaks.
Apply the Mac OS X Theme
Open Tweaks, and then select theme, icon, cursor and some other things. See my settings below.
Don't forget to change the font
Conclusion
