Dress Up Your Desktop with Vista & MAC Themes

One of the great things about Linux is its ability to modify just about everything. One of my favorite pastimes is to change the skin or theme of my Linux desktop and applications. After all, when you spend hours on the computer, why shouldn't it be easy on the eyes and elegant.

Below are two Linux themes, one based on Windows Vista (Dark Ice Gnome Theme), and an Apple MAC OS X (MAC4LIN Gnome Theme)...







Below is the Thunderbird Email client with the Windows Vista Mail theme applied....




Below is my Linux Apple MAC Tiger OS X Theme along with the Avant Window Navigator launcher at the bottom.



Below are a sampling of desktop Linux apps showing off the MAC4LIN theme....




You can dress it up with some MAC4LIN icons available here....
