Look at this!

Look what I found in Fedora Core X64 XFCE spin:



The theme is called Pallentiunin(not supsesingly)!

All of the buttons do what you would expect you can't double click on a window tittle to compress it.(I hope I'm not mixing that up with some other UI)

Ammways just thought I would share this.

I made one similar not too long ago for XFWM4 (XFCE Window Manager) so you can use it on any *nix running XFWM.

Good work. Just to clefiy the theme I found was shipped with the OS, I did not make it. Also notice that it has a minimize button, there are also themes for Windows XP and BeOS(obscure Mutimeida OS, which I belive did work on PowerPC macs), not sure about Mac OS X, if you wnat your OS to look like those.

I remember both Enlightenment and KDE 1.x having System 7-ish appearance modes back in... gah, 1998 or so? It's not exactly a new thing. (A Slackware install of that vintage will have the Mac theme available out of the box.) XFCE probably packages a Platinum theme as an inside reference to the "low resource consumption" goal of the environment.

Out of curiosity I did take a peek to see if a Platinum theme was still floating around for KDE Plasma and failed. OS X themes are of course a dime a dozen. (There does seem to be one for Gnome.) I believe KDE does optionally still support some classic Mac OS UI conventions like "windowshading", however. I was never that into it so I haven't checked for a while.

KDE *does* still offer the BeOS windows style on the default list, oddly enough. Never could get excited about that one.

Yeah I wound up making that XFCE theme because they used to ship a similar one for metacity with XFCE, but when they started using XFWM4 I couldn't find anything.

My XFWM4 desktop used to be set so that you double-click the titlebars to make the windows "shade".

Perhaps they changed that in newer versions?

On my XFCE desktop I have a "shade" button.(I think it uses the same icon as Mac OS) I can also left-clik and click "roll window down" or "roll window up".
