Make Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Look Like Mac OSX

There are numerous site describing how to make Ubuntu look like Mac OSX, but must site that I have come across are quite buggy. And even the home page for the Google Global Menu is not correct. But yesterday I came across I really good web page that works and maybe even more imported have to uninstall the theme. http://maketecheasier.com/turn-your-ubuntu-intrepid-into-mac-osx-leopard/2009/01/08 And if you are annoyed with the close, minimize and maximize (metacity) buttons you can change that with the following.
Open gconf-editor, press alt+f2 and then run.
Edit the key: app → metacity → general
Set the button_layout to: menu:close,minimize,maximize
And a last that is forgotten is that Mac4Lin comes with themes and plugins for firefox and thunderbird. These packages are located in Mac4Lin directory and under Mozilla.
