The Leopardish software provides a GTK theme for the GNOME desktop, mimicking the look of Mac OS X Leopard. It is designed to give GNOME desktop users a familiar experience in a different environment.
Leopardish is based on other famous GTK themes, including MacOS-X Aqua Theme, T-ish, Mac OS X Bundle, and more. Combining the best features of each, Leopardish merges all of them into one sleek package. The incorporation of Emerald Theme and something fun in ToyBox gives users even more ways to customize their interface.
The package contains three files: Leopardish (for global menu), Leopardish-normal, and ToyBox. But what is a “global menu”? A global menu means that the menu bars for applications are placed at the top of the screen instead of inside each window. This allows for the ability to save vertical space on your desktop and focus on what matters most. So, whether you're a professional developer working on a Linux system or simply prefer the minimalistic look of the global menu, Leopardish has you covered.
For those not familiar, GNOME is a complete desktop environment built entirely from free, open-source software. A part of the GNU Project, GNOME is used all over the world with various Unix-like operating systems, especially Linux. The goal of this project is to create a user-friendly experience, where everything just works. With GNOME, you can customize your experience to your liking and integrate any application with ease.
In summary, Leopardish is an excellent solution for anyone looking to get the Mac OS X Leopard experience on GNOME. The theme is easy to install and presents a remarkable look that mimics the Mac OS X Leopard’s interface. The incorporation of the global menu is helpful, as it saves screen space and lets users focus on their tasks. And best of all, it's free and open-source, making it accessible to anyone.
