Make Ubuntu look like OSX

I have noticed that many people try to imitate Mac OSX Tiger's look with their current operating system. No matter is it Windows or Linux. I'm one of those people and this is my atteption to make Ubuntu Linux look like OSX Tiger. I use Ubuntu simply because it is the best distribution of the best operating system. Ubuntu uses Gnome as it's desktop environment. For this reason the guide is for only for Gnome users. It you are using some other distribution, this guide is still valid in most cases. This guide tries to be as spesific as possible, so that even newbies can follow it easily!

Why should I modify my desktop to look like OSX?

Well, it's all up to your taste actually. If you don't like OSX's look then you shouldn't, but there are many people who think that OSX is simply beautiful. Personally I don't like Ubuntu's default brown theme or it's icons (Update: dapper has beautiful icons). They are just not for me. The good thing with Ubuntu (and linux in general) is that it's possible to modify everything you want. This allows us to have good operating system with nice personalized look.
