If MacOSX has the single menubar on top [...] problem
Not a prob.
Do you mean that Linux can do that now? (move all menubars to the top and switch depending on focus)

 

Always could, since I can remember... It just works with mostly only Qt apps (in KDE) and I think Gnome will do it with GTK apps, possibly by default... I can't recall.

That's as close as I've got it so far.

 

I'm missing this:

 

* GTK 1 AND 2 theme. I downloaded one, but I didn't install it yet, nor do I know how to select it.

 

* Rounded window decor. Preferable an IceWM theme. And preferably with NO border, as Macs have no border.

 

I guess that's about it. Possibly newer icons, but I just didn't set up the ones I did download yet.

Does the KDE bar come like that on 9.0, because in 8.1 i tried to shrink it to the center and couldn't figure it out. in preferences you can set the length of it on the screen but that keeps it aligned left.. i couldn't figure out if it was possible to align it to the right.

I think, the BIGGEST difficulty is getting Gnome2 to Aqua look, for getting GTK-Apps looking like qt-apps. It's really ugly, if the themes for gtk and qt aren't equal (--> buttons, dropdown,etc...)

 

Only way i see to do this is installing Gnome1.4, there are several really good aqua GTK-themes, which then will be shown under kde, too...

 

Second, the transparent widget isn't possible by now, as the magnifying icons in the panel...

The readme in the extracted folder had nothing to say about the installation, and the download site instructions said to extract them into the opt/kde3/share/icons folder, but of course Mandrake doesn't install kde3 there. Elsewhere it said to install it as an icon theme using control center, but its not an installable theme as I can see. I have tons of icons extracted....just ain't sure where to extract them to in such a way as a theme where the Control center can call them.
