Set Mac Like Theme for Ubuntu 18.04

This is the record of the process of how to customize ubuntu desktop theme. I use mac like theme.

The first thing is to install gnome TweakTool:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool

Then install shell extension:

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell-extensions

Then add extension for genome. Open the website for gnome extensions (https://extensions.gnome.org/).

To add extensions, choose a extension and click on. You may need chrome extension recommended in this page installed.

I recommend add following extensions:

User Theme (must): allow user define theme in ~/.themes and ~/.icons folders.

Dash to Dock: Customize you Dock.

Removable Drive Menu: usb indicator.

open weather.

Set GTK Theme

GTK theme includes themes of your file manager and other system applications. Download mac theme zip from McSierra Compact, then extract it into ~/.themes folder. Then choose the application theme in tweak tool.

Set Gnome Shell Theme

It will affect your top bar. Install human, then extract it into into ~/.themes folder. Then choose the shell theme in tweak tool.

Set File Icons

Download Cupertino-Catalina, then extract it into into ~/.icons folder. Then choose the icon theme in tweak tool.

Set Grub Theme

It affect the boot graphical interface. Download Grub-theme-vimix. Open terminal in the extracted folder,

sudo .\install

Set Lockscreen Theme

I use blurred wall paper for lockscreen. Download High ubunterra with right version corresponding to your OS. Open terminal in the extracted folder.

chmod +x ./install.sh
./install.sh

Now you just choose your image right click mouse button you will see script and "SetAsWallpaper" just click on it, wallpaper already set.

To uninstall use command ./uninstall.sh.
