Hello I have seen alot of Videos with Ubuntu and they all seem to have a MAC like icons...
I am looking for the one where you move your mouse over the tool bar and the Icons raise up like if you were running a magnifine glass over it....

I am still new to Ubuntu and I love it so far and anyone i talk to i am trying to see if they would cross over to the Linux Side..
Thanks

Sounds like you want to take a look at the compiz manager..

Use synaptics (system --> administration --> synaptic)
And search for compiz manager, install it, and find it at (system --> administration --> compiz manager(or something like that))

This will atleast get you in the right direction. There are many plugins and settings you can play around with to make your dekstop look all kinds of awsome :)

If you want to go all the way with the MacOS look, just follow this;

Hello I did work on it when I got home it took me awhile but I belive I got it working....
I want to thank everyone for helping with this little issue...

After all that now I can add more themes to other computers that I build...

This weekend I will attempt to add Ubuntu to my Mom's Dell computer and add a different theme to it....
