Mac4Lin: what i did to my linux

Developer: Anirudh (infra_red_dude)
Website: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac4lin














To do this you need Ubuntu 7.04 or Ubuntu 8.04.
Links to do this:

Mac4Lin_Part1_v0.4.tar.gz


Mac4Lin_Icons_Part2_v0.4.tar.gz

Mac4Lin_Wallpapers_Part3_v0.4.tar.gz

Mac4Lin_Documentation_2.pdf


Use the Mac4Lin_Documentation_2.pdf, this will tell you how to do this.

Dock:
Simdock

/*UPDATE*\

install with one line of code: (enter it in terminal)
sudo apt-get install simdock
OR
(alt)(f2) then enter sudo apt-get install simdock in textbox, then check run in terminal, then run.

/*UPDATE*\


Simdock_1.2.tar.gz
or .deb
(this is for .deb file)
Use the termanal and make sure you have the wxWidgets installed through the following:
sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev
Then, install the SimDock .deb with the following:

sudo dpkg -i simdock_1.2-1~getdeb1_i386.deb


(or download wxWidgets_2.8.5.deb)
(and thed download simdock-1.2-beta_1-2_all.deb)

First you most install wxwidgets_2.8.5.deb

If you have any problem with background (sometimes appears a message at start session) you most do 2 things:

1. Scale the wallpaper image to your screen resolution. For example, if your screen resolution in 1024x768 your wallpaper image most have the same resolution.

2. To start simdock you most indicate where is your wallpaper image like this:

simdock /here/is/my/wallpaper/thisis.jpg

Optionally, you can also click on the first box in the right frame on my blog (http://phoenix-ani.blogspot.com). You do not need to Sourceforge.net login id. All you need is a valid email id. Each vote is associated with an email id, which needs confirmation that you actually voted (you will get an email giving a confirmation link, so all you need to do is click it). The whole voting process takes just 3 clicks.

I urge patrons to vote for Mac4Lin if they feel it should win. I once again thank everyone for their continued support, feedback and appreciation. Mac4Lin exists today because of you all :) Do spread the word around about this.
