Thank you for the help. I thought I would ask before messing with it: I appreciate it.

Hey guys, Mac4Lin ver.0.4 is almost ready for release. Just a few little things to work on (some small inconsistencies, as it can be seen in screenshots below).

I'm releasing Version 0.4 preview here:

Mac4Lin version 0.4

18th December 2007

Your favorite Mac4Lin is back! A new version, more changes, better looks and an overall more polished product. Please read changelog for information of changes in this version. It gives me immense pleasure to inform all that downloads have crossed 2.6 TB till date!

Please go through the Documentation for illustrated installation instructions. Also some entities like GTK Metacity theme etc. now include two versions. Hence individual README files are included only if there is a need to convey release specific information which the generic documentation does not include. Please read the README file for more details in such cases.

Apply it, flaunt it, enjoy it!

Mac4Lin is back!

This is the version 1.0 Release Candidate. Some components are still under development. Currently the shell script is not able to set the GDM theme, cursor theme, sounds, emerald theme. They need to be manually set.

Also components like Firefox3, Thunderbird theme, awn theme/plugins etc. are still under development. The Mozilla themes may not be stable. Hence use the non-core components of Mac4Lin at your own risk. Documentation is still in the pipeline. I decided to release the RC anyway so that patrons can start using it and update to the stable version when development is complete.

Whats new: Mac4Lin v1.0 RC - 9th September, 2008

New! Automated Installer in the form of a shell script
New GDM theme
Supports the newest version of GNOME and Xfce
New Mozilla themes specifically built for Mac4Lin
Adium style AWN status icons for Pidgin
Mac style scrollbars, menus
Other tweaks in GTK theme
Adium sounds for Pidgin
New usplash

Keeping up the tradition I'm including the download stats. SF.net alone has served about 10.4TB as on today! I'm also happy to announce that Mac4Lin was one of the winners of FOSS Awards 2008.

Instructions:

Download the Mac4Lin_v1.0_RC.tar.gz archive to any folder. Extract the archive and run Mac4Lin_Install_v1.0_RC.sh file.

Great job, congratulations ! But I have a question, what about XFCE, can we apply it to XFCE as well?

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ Yes. As the Changelog says.. its compatible with Xfce However, automated install is only available for GNOME as of now.

[therainbow]

Great, great, then I'll have to install it manually, or write a script to do it, I hope it won't be much complicated, I'm working on developping a new Linux distribution and I want to include Mac4Lin by default, that's why I have to write a script to do it, so users will have mac4lin by default.

[therainbow]

I installed it with my xfce desktop, I modified a bit the script for installation, it's great, but some XFCE stuff look ugly like the upper bar, and all my XFCE menu icons have disappeared, also, the scrollbar is messed up. Is there something wrong with XFCE?

[infra_red_dude]

I'm not sure. On my test system its runs fine. Can you post screenshots?

[BrasssMunkye]

i just installed this, and it is amazing
i just have a quick question
does it come with the dock featured in screenshots?
and if so, how do i get this dock running?

[infra_red_dude]

It doesn't include a dock in the package but the documentation available with Mac4Lin includes details on the dock installation. You can download the PDF documentation from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin Download section.

[BrasssMunkye]

yeah, thanks, i already got the dock installed and runing
anyways, amazing package. i love it.

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ Thank you. Working on the 1.0 final now.
