Another OSX looking Desktop
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
My OSX looking desktop... :-)
1. GTK theme: My own theme with dyndyn cairo engine, I did a personal modding to the dyndyn engine to paint the toolbar this way (Still couln't paint the trobber though :-( ). Using a pixmap to get scan lines in the apps background. Hope to send it back to the Dyndyn engine author, so that he could encorporate, if he like this :-)
2. Borders: Dream's Tiger from Bery-project.org, Did a small mod to match the color.
3. OSX like dock: It's KXDocker, download it from www.kde-apps.org
4. Mac like menubar (Top panel): from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241868
5. Icon: OSX; You can get it here, Tray, volume icons (Found from the web)
6. Cairo clock: You can get it here.
Hope this will help you.

Removed the scanlines.
In the engine: Started working on buttons and other primary widgets. Working on a gtk engine seems to be very fun :-)

The theme zammi is working on is based on a modern engine, I have used the pixmap engine to mimic the Aqua interface but major difficulties have been faced, like:
a)no way to set the state of the widget in the inactive windows to INACTIVE (for scrollbars and buttons, that is what happens in Mac OS, that is why they are greyed out / have no colour ), no way to mimic fully the aqua UI
b)still no clue how to apply styles to some widgets (nautilus-> throbber, Epiphany->Locationbar (there are two embeded GtkEntry widgets, will have to see how it is managed in Clearlooks as the focus ring is drawn correctly only there) )
c)pixmaps has some limitations like overlay_file is not tiled, thus the aqua live-moving striples on the scrollbar are difficult to reproduce. Currently I'm working on a patch for the engine to make the overlay file tiles when not streched (like the base image file) Alternatively the stipple pixmap can be used as a base image and the rounded corner slider as an overlay but no transparency is supported for the base image (gtk2.8) and I cannot use round corners. Someone can help?
d) still have not discovered a way to draw the focus ring over lists and groups (basic UI feature in Aqua, see Aqua HIG)
This is not my prime time objective (to mimic the Aqua, as it is IMPOSSIBLE to mimic it fully as explained (see a) without patching GTK/god_knows_what) so I'm just figuring out the capabilities of Gtk/GnomeUI libs. As of yesterday the test for QT 4.3 on OpenGL are available and... ladies and gentelmens we are way behind:( So sad soooo sad....

What I want to know is how do applications with two toolbars look like.

Anyways, I want that dock too, unless it's only well-resized icons...

Ok, It's obvious I am kidding, BUT plz answer the following questions (note it is what I wish to know maybe others would like a complete howto or "wheretofind"):
1. GTK theme?
2. Borders? (if u use emerald cgwd etc)
3. OSX like dock? (ANSWER THIS ONE ATLEAST PLZ)
4. OSX like panel (you know moving the controls from the window(file-edit etc) to the panel.
PLZ gimme a hint on those, or even better write down a detailed how-to/"whereto" for the whole thing.
Regards, TurboJugend.
