Metal is a GNOME theme that mimics the look and feel of Mac OS X on the Linux desktop. It provides a sleek and polished user interface, with a focus on simplicity and efficiency. The theme is easy to install and configure, and is compatible with the latest versions of GNOME.
If you're considering trying out this theme for yourself, the developer encourages you to do so before you rate it. They welcome comments and feedback. Within the AluChrystal pack, you'll find a GTK theme, an emerald theme, and the desktop background. However, there is no Metacity theme included.
For those who may not be familiar, GNOME is an international effort to build a complete desktop environment. This graphical user interface sits on top of a computer operating system and is entirely built from free software. GNOME focuses on simplicity, usability, and making things "just work". It involves creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and managing application launching, file handling, and window and task management.
GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, most notably Linux. It is also part of the Java Desktop System in Solaris. Although the acronym for GNOME originally stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, it is now deprecated.
