My fake "Mac-OSX" look-alike using Ubuntu 12.04

This is just something I've been fidgeting with for a few days having had enough of Windows Vista on my desktop.

I have a geuine Macbook w/ Snow Leopard and I like the look and feel of it so much I decided to try my hand at re-working Ubuntu 12.04TLS into something similar for the good ole PC.

It took a fair amount of 'tweaking' but I feel like it turned out pretty good and just wanted to show off the results a bit. What do you guys think?

It's not Macbuntu, since this is built on 12.04, but it's along the same lines. Basically just added the Cairo dock to Ubuntu, downloaded a Mac theme and installed that for the Window dressing, found an icon pack and installed that and did the tweaks myself. Add in a OSX wallpaper and voila..

I pretty much just followed this guide to get to the 90% mark..

The rest was more or less tweaking the icons to represent the way I wanted them to.
