!!!Mac4lin in Prakash's ubuntu!!!

I have installed mac4lin theme yesterday 9PM.just booted into Ubuntu to make sure font issue is gone.


it is very easy to install this theme.but hard to maintain .deb created.as it needs few different approaches in different Gnome versions and distros.

also,I faced crappy font quality in firefox after putting defoma hints in /etc/fonts/ dir.(alias.conf etc).I removed them.this is needed for nvidia cards I think.
Now Fonts quality is OK guess this is the fix @imav missed few months back.

also,I havent completely followed the customization.installed those fonts in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/mac4lin directory
I have a doubt,How can you bundle tahoma etc fonts without the permission from microsoft ,apple etc

totally, a nice achievement by infra. Thumba Dhanyavadegalu anirudh avargale!

^^^ Thank you

Regarding the legal issues, I'd be sued if I'm selling Mac4Lin; which I am not. But you never know US laws they can change it anytime! So if they do so, I'll get a mail for sure from them!

Change your drive letters from sda or sdb1,2 to something with which you can identify the drive. eg: Games, Songs

thank you, My mouse is working fine, so i do not need it

LOL

@sunny:change the mount directory name to something like movies,songs,files etc

why should you be worried of US laws when you are in India ?
Just forget them and let dogs be dogs in dogland.
You are in your motherland.
So worry nahi na ?

One thing I cannot dispense even after mac4lin is the gnome-panels. I for one soon gonna purge that avant docker out of my ubuntu

Now,I understand,ppl mostly are behind eyecandy(which I am not )

[praka123]

But I haf no control over who downloads it, hence I'd be asked to remove if need be.

This is true, GNOME Panels are nice.

Stay away from it .

Yep, if you use a previous generation CPU/GPU.

Yep, if you use a newer generation CPU/GPU.

As of now, there is no stable dock for Linux. Docks are very very very and very useful if you are running a large no. of apps. In this situation the taskbar/panel gives in.

^^^ There is a bug in Mac4Lin ver.0.4. See the BIG terminal icon??

To correct that just goto /home/<usrname>/.icons/<Mac4Lin icon folder>/scalable/apps folder (you may need to enable View Hidden folder/files option in View Menu in File Manager - Nautilus).

Now find gnome-terminal.png. Right Click > Open with gThumb Image Viewer. Now goto Image menu > Resize (or press Alt + S). Change the size to 128x128 pixels and save this file. Now re-apply this theme or Log Off and Log back in. The terminal icon will be of correct size
