I would like to request an rpm of mac4lin. have several people who are used to the mac look and have them convinced to move to mandriva but would like to have the mac theme.

source files are here http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin/

Thank you and as always mib is my favorite repository and has made a few rpms for me

[ominomichelin]

a quick search on zarb.org it is no rpm package for it , ...
if you make it then this is REAL EXOTIC PORTING ....
hardly wait to test it .....
PS.
if works you'll going to have some publicity ...at least AFIC

[tobal]

Done here is:

Code: Select all

urpmi http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/2010.1/32/basic/macforlin-gnome-theme-1.0-1mib2010.1.noarch.rpm

This theme is a little old, for that reason the icons theme was bad, I have had modified the index.theme, it is the first time i do this

Enjoy man

[NicCo]

I tryed it and works and looks very nice!

I found an interesting Topic in Mandriva Forum
http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=73258



For me, I continue to prefer your Equinox theme with Faenza icons!

P.S: To me, to install it requested, compiz, emerald and some ruby rpms

Bye,
NicCo

[ominomichelin]

ok it works like a charm ( ccsm +cairo-dock)
may only sorrow is that Cristobal si so far away from me and I can not pay him
those beers....
Hey guys THIS IS THE EXOTIC PORTING.
@Nicco
no way Equinox && Faenza those WAS before mac4lin
(afic enyway..)

I'm speechless congrats m8 you've done it again .Actually I'm a kde user
but tnx to you , and tnx to all gnome stuff that you brought in mdv
I've start to use gnome again... tnx Cristobal.

PS:
mac4lin ain't available as package on no distro that I have installed
...and I have a few...

Found, here a complete Guide to install and config
http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?p=720712#720712

With rpm available, it could be very usefull mainly the config part

Mac4Lin 1.0 Documentation is now uploaded. It can be downloaded from here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4li ... f/download

It includes updated instructions to get that perfect Mac OS X look and also additional tweaks. I'd like to thank Hardin and Jeff for their contribution Smile

So, the manual is here:

I am installing it now sorry for the delay was in the process of building an interface to connect my pc to my 2 meter ham radio to do aprs and packet relay. will update after its installed and working.

[forrestw517]

the rpm installs fine and I tried to follow the docs but some of the options shown are only for ubuntu has anyone gotten it to work correctly with mdv 2010.1 if so can you provide assistance

Hi! The GDM is not included because mandriva uses GDN2. And usplash is not included because is not plymouth.
The extras like pidgin i can't include because if there is a new update of pidgin then dissappear one, and the user must update it by hand.
I've included the GTK theme and GTK splash, icons theme, metacity and all mac fonts.
To install GTK splash you'll find an application called splash in Applications menu, the GTK splash image is in /usr/share/pixmaps/splash.
