Gnome Cupertino GTK theme gets updated

This post was made with another stylesheet and it might be messed up!

Themes that make your desktop look like a Mac have always been popular among the users of any desktop environment. Although Gnome Shell looks and is very cool, many users still prefer to transform it into something more Mac-like.

Gnome Cupertino is a GTK 3.6 theme that has received a lot of work with attention to details and functionality. A new version was made available yesterday bringing fixes, corrections and small aesthetic changes.

I can’t say much about this theme other than the fact that it is very carefully designed through a long time, it will make your desktop look like a Mac and if you don’t know what that means cause you never saw a Mac desktop in your like, it means that your desktop will look more polished and more “metalic” and that all window buttons will become rounded and colored. Take a look below:

Version 2.1.1 changelog

This maintenance release includes the following changes:

Improved rhythmbox sidebar color
Nautilus 3.6: pathbar better spacing, improved icons sidebar color
Fixed checkbox and radiobutton symbols in menus
Fixed Level-bar widget
Fixed synaptic toolbar (GTK3)
Other minor fixes

So, do you like the idea of having a Mac-looking Gnome Shell? Gnome Cupertino will certainly deliver :)

It can also be preferred by users who don’t particularly aim for their windows to look like OS X or anything else, but who just want pretty windows; it’s an attractive and polished theme, I use it for those reasons.

I agree, one of my favorites themes.

It really is, but I just can’t help thinking that it is something that tried to imitate something else :(

Then you should stop listening to all music after 1990 ;)

I gotta say I love this theme. Say what you will about Mac OSX but they got the aesthetics right.
Using Adwaita GTK theme + Cupertino Window theme looks good as well.

I use Cupertino + Frieze Shell Theme (+ font change) and it’s gorgeous! Screenshot (Fake Busy): http://reign-studios.com/screenshots/Arch-FakeBusy-1-10-13.png

Hello, can I submit my idea about Nautilus here? Or, can you help me to submit? I think Nautilus should have ‘Recent opened folder’ function. It is like Libreoffice. So, I don’t need to browse too deep anymore when I open Nautilus, for a folders frequently I open. It is great for me :) Is it possible? I am sorry if I’m wrong. Thank you, Wogue :)
