Hello friends, the new Linux Mint version 20 just came out. In this article, I will show you how to customize it to look like the Mac OS.

1. Add Themes

Windows 10 Theme. Feels quite strange that I am starting with a Windows 10 theme for your. This simple tutorial shows how to install ‘McMojave’, a Mac OS Mojave like theme, in Ubuntu 18.04, Ubuntu 19.10. Following steps will first download and install the GTK theme, icons theme, and a set of wallpapers.And then apply new themes and tweak the left dock to make your Ubuntu desktop look like Mac. Themes are shiny, smooth, fast, and looks like latest Mac; Mac theme for LightDM-webkit auto configuration (Tested and works for us, install it with caution) GTK themes are compatible with Unity, Gnome, Xfce, Cinnamon; Three themes for Gnome Shell, one for Xfce, and two for Cinnamon; Icon set compatibility with 15.10 and new icon theme added.

So let’s go first I will download the theme for the Mint desktop. I’ll download the dark theme and the light theme.

The links will stay in this post. After I have downloaded the compressed files in my download folder I will unzip them right here.

I will delete these compressed files so they don’t bother me.

Now I’m going to copy them. Go to my HOME. Use the Ctrl + H shortcut to see hidden files. Then enter the folder, themes, and paste the folders there.

Now let’s get into the system settings. Then Themes. I will select the borders of the window with the Mojave-light theme. NO, the icons do not come with this theme, we will change the icons later. Switch controls to Mojave-light. And global theme too.

2. Move Panel Up

Now let’s move this panel upwards. With the panel edit mode activated, we will decrease the panel height.

3. Move Buttons Left

Now in the settings, let’s move the buttons to the left side.

4. Install Plank

Open the terminal, let’s install a dock.

$ Sudo apt install plank – It is a lightweight dock. I’m going to start Plank.

It wasn’t supposed to appear like this, I was testing it and forgot to undo the settings. Let’s take the opportunity to remove these icons from up here.

5. Set Up Plank

To configure Plank click Ctrl + right-click, then preferences. Configure as you like. My Plank theme is already installed but it doesn’t matter, I’ll show you how to install it.

6. Install Theme For Plank

Download the Catalinas theme for Plank. I will download the latter, but you can test others as well. Let’s copy the already unzipped folder. local share plank themes Paste here.

7. Add Icons To The Plank

To add an icon to the dock, first, open something, then right-click on the program icon and check the box, Keep in Dock.

To remove from the dock, just pull it out. Organize however you want. It doesn’t work that way!

8. Install Synapse

Now let’s open the terminal again and install the synapse. Synapse is a really cool fast launcher, similar to Apple’s. Once installed, the Shortcut, Ctrl + Space is the default shortcut to open it, but you can change to the shortcut you want, as long as it does not conflict with other shortcuts. Click to start with the system.

9. Change Menu Icon

I don’t really like that part, but if you want, you can exchange the Linux mint logo for the apple logo. So, let’s go. Search for the Apple logo on the internet preferably .png with transparency, otherwise, it will not be cool. We will add a separator before the menu so that it is not so glued to the corner. What f* it’s so hard to move.

10. Change Background

Linux Mint Mac Theme

Search, and save some Mac OS wallpaper on the internet so you can set it as a background.

11. Change System Icons

Now let’s download and install Cupertino Icons for our Linux. After downloaded and unzipped we will copy to .icons and paste here. You can also change everything to the dark theme if you want.

Linux Mint For Mac

We just need to change the cursor now. You can’t leave the Linux Mint with the Cinamon desktop environment exactly like Mac OS It is not as customizable as some Linux distro that uses KDE as a desktop environment for example.
