About Neli S Gautham Raj
My tweak tool (advanced settings) doesn’t “see” the mac theme as one of the possibilities.
I followed the instructions and alternatively pasted the extracted folders in the themes folder (usr/share..) by using the nautilus command. This doesn’t seem to help…
Ideas?
Can you please try again ? It worked for me .. !! Otherwise it might be due to problem in package .I will check and let you know . But from you side , just try once .
Looks absolutely nothing like Lion, but nice tutorial nonetheless.
