I moved this thread. Please don't post questions in the customization section. I moved this thread.

You can customize your theme to make it look like a Mac theme.

Install this to get some themes :

$sudo apt-get gnome-themes-extras

And to be able to handpick a lot of nice themes do this :

$sudo apt-get install gnome-art

go to system->preferences->art manager to install all kind of themes

To customize your theme go to system->preferences->theme

You can get inspiration here :

Look around in the art forum to find more interesting customization stuff :

good luck!

It's not possible with GNOME, it doesn't even come close to OS X GUI. If you want to get OS X look-a-like, do "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop kwin-baghira". Read more and see screenshots at http://baghira.sourceforge.net/.
