Every icon, bar, panel or window can be changed. Of course it's kind of a hassle if you'd have to do all this by yourself.
Although I don't like Apple's closed source business strategy, I do like it's design. So I made my Ubuntu Maverick look like OSX.
There's a very easy way to do this: MacBuntu.
Download, run the install.sh script and your Ubuntu desktop looks just like a Mac desktop, including the dock at the bottom of the screen. I have to mention I tweaked this install script a bit because I wanted to use Avant window navigator (available in the Ubuntu Software center) instead of docky. (I deleted all lines that were are related to Docky). Furthermore I did not want my top panel to change. Apple uses "global panel" a top panel that changes according to the application that is active. I've tried that on Ubuntu in the past and it wasn't a great success. I blocked the lines that are responsible for changing the panel set-up.
This is what my desktop looks like now:
You even get the sweet animations when minimizing a window:
Let me know what you think of it!
