6. Canta GTK theme
Canta makes your Linux Mint colorful. This is more than colorful. Vivid. Most of us have RGB on our desktops, I have red lights and this theme absolutely goes with it makes my computer stand out.
This looks great on laptops too. Especially when you're outdoors. This setup is an attention magnet. In your classroom, office, this will attract and make every other computer screen look too plain.
I have applied a neon rave wallpaper but you can go with something very discreet and this theme will still look good.
You can install Canta theme with this commands
Canta theme is available in many variants. It comes with various color options and in light and dark themes as well. You can do your own thing. Get creative here guys.

5. Adapta GTK Theme
Next up, we're going for a super classy, polished look with Adapta theme. This theme makes your Linux Mint look very sophisticated. You know when you look at somethings and can immediately tell that particular thing is very expensive just by the texture, quality and other subtle things. Adapta theme has the same effect on Linux Mint. Nothing flashy here. But it looks premium.
It has 3 variants and I really liked the light one. Make sure you experiment with the other two.
Dark themes are trending now and Adpata offers one of the best looking dark themes.
Adpata is extremely easy to install. Just open themes from the menu and you can install Adapta from the add/remove tab.
That's it. You can now head back and apply it.
I'm using Numix circle icons. You can download them by running this commands
As I said earlier, play around with the variants of Adapta. The dark theme especially is very elegant.
Desktop wallpaper is an essential part of your desktop and it's crucial that you match the theme, icons and the wallpaper. I'm mostly picking wallpapers from the preinstalled package, but you can go ahead get more wallpapers from the internet if you want. It's all in the eyes of the beholder. Let your creative juices flow.
4.Numix
Numix is a big name in the field of themes and icon packs. It produces high-quality visual assets. The theme itself is simple but has style. Not everybody can rock Canta, on their computers, the first theme that we saw. Some people need something more subtle, yet elegant.
Numix Daily has a profound feel to it. it is very clean and comes with solid colors. There are no gradients, multiple shades and stuff here. The desktop looks very sophisticated with icons looking on spot. The desktop looks very sharp. The closest metaphor I can draw here is James Bond wearing a suit.
Numix is great for professionals, students. The colors look nice here, but they are not too punchy. This is what I personally use on my work computer, so I have mad love for Numix.
For installation, I already gave the commands you need to run in the previous section. Run them one by one. Once that is done, open themes and apply Numix Daily. You can go with either circle or square icons. I'm picking circle.
In the desktop section, choose mint-y-red. For wallpaper, pretty much anything goes here because of the simple, dark color of the bottom panel. I would recommend something that doesn't have too many colors. Something majestic.
3. Serena
With Serena, you get one of the best-looking Linux Mint setups ever. I really fell in love with Serena. It brings together the best of many UI design styles.
The desktop is not too funky, but the touch is definitely here. It's not too formal nor too casual. The colors are punchy here, but they are used beautifully.
As soon as I applied this theme, I strongly felt that I should get a little plant for my computer table. So if You already have a plant or plan to get one, this theme right here is going t make the whole thing look fantastic. Without the plant too, it looks really good here.
The dark and green colors are deep. The radius, the spacing it's all done really nicely. In a time when material design is trending, this is a refreshing look.
Serena can be downloaded directly from the add/remove tab in the themes application. Serena is just a desktop theme, so for the other entries in the themes application, you need to apply some other ones. I'll pick Numix circle icons and some pre-installed theme here, but you can mix and match.
The base color of Serena is deep black so it'll match with many other themes. I'm using a theme called Vimix here, which I'll talk about in a few minutes. I'll go with the wallpaper that has some green in it. To complement the wallpaper and the plant that I'll get.
Serena makes both laptops and desktops look absolutely gorgeous. I'm really lovin' the look here.
2. Arc theme.
Arc is a popular choice for theming on Linux, especially on GNOME desktop. And it looks really good on Cinnamon desktop too. The layout, the design, the color scheme, it's all very high quality.
The interface is very clean with contrasting colors. The colors here are chosen to be subtle. The computer does not pull your attention away from what you're doing. You know Candy Crush, the bright colors used there, attract you and keep you hooked to the game. Bright colors are shown to pull our attention to them. By utilizing the subtler shades of colors, Arc theme facilitates a productivity-oriented desktop. And these colors look very good. They add a very mature, professional vibe to the computer.
I would recommend this theme for work computers.
To install this theme, open a terminal and run
Then head to the themes application and change it. Arc is available in 3 variants, all of which are really good. So make sure you play with them.
As far as the desktop wallpaper is concerned, pretty much anything goes here. Try to pick something that has the theme colors or complementary colors in it.
I highly recommend Arc if you want your desktop to look professional and classy.
1. Vimix
Vimix is one of the most impressive looking themes for Cinnamon Vimix is a flat, material style theme created according to the very high standards that Google has set for its Android operating system. So it has a very superior design that is contemporary to what is considered fantastic today.
This is definitely made for 2020. Vimix particularly looks great on laptops. The colorful window controls, sharp edges and a ton of variants that offer handpicked accent colors, all these make Vimix a must-have theme for customization enthusiasts.
To download Vimix, run the commands
Then you can try out the many variants you get, but I suggest you go with the dark theme. Vimix, hands down, provides one of the best looking dark themes for Linux Mint. This is exactly what you need to get if you want a superb looking dark themed Linux Mint. Again, the dark theme is available in many accent colors. So you can customize your desktop to be truly unique.
I'm using numix square icons here but you can try others too, also I 'm using a preinstalled wallpaper here. You can go ahead and get something from the internet that matches the accent colors you've chosen.
All in all, Vimix is a great theme that offers a modern desktop with a choice of many vibrant variants.
Well, that's it for today.
Linux desktops are some of the most customizable experiences out there. Whether you’re using GNOME, or MATE or KDE Plasma you have more customization features out of the box than Windows or macOS users. And that’s not even counting the crazy number of icon packs, and GTK themes floating around on the Internet. For instance, Microsoft is slowly working towards a dark mode on Windows 10. Apple will be introducing its users to a dark mode with the upcoming macOS Mojave. We’ve had dark themes on Linux for around a decade if not more. We’ve even shown how easy it is to theme Linux to look like macOS. Now we even have macOS GTK Themes for Ubuntu including the dark mode.
Some Linux users dislike the fact that other Linux users want to theme the OS to look like other operating systems. But then isn’t that what flexibility and customization are all about? Linux users are free to make their OS look like anything they want, whether its macOS or Chrome OS. Apple’s macOS has always had a gorgeous design. It should come as no surprise then that so many Linux users like their systems to look similar.
The new “Mc-OS-MJV” theme has been made by prolific theme creator PaulXFCE. His Ambiance-RW theme was so good that it inspired the Ubuntu devs to incorporate some of the ideas into their Ambiance theme. We’ve already seen his Arrongin theme which was quite unique too. PaulXFCE has previously created some of the best looking macOS GTK themes for previous macOS versions such as High Sierra and Yosemite. His new themes imitating the macOS Mojave look aren’t mere updates to existing macOS themes though. This is what he has to say about his latest themes.
“These are high end and thoroughly developed GTK-themes for the gnome desktop (3.20+ through 3.28) that interprets the Mac Os themes to the gnome-environment. I’ve modernized it in every little detail. There is nothing (not a single item) that is not new. Resulting in a completely rewritten GTK.CSS-file.”
His work speaks for itself once you install the new themes. If you’ve never used any of his previous macOS themes you might not notice the subtle differences but we can assure you there are plenty. You can compare the screenshots of Nautilus above for a general idea.

How to install macOS GTK Themes on Ubuntu
Since Ubuntu officially uses GNOME as its default desktop, we’re going to mention the installation steps for GNOME. In case you use other GTK based desktop environments such as MATE, the installation method is still pretty much the same. The way you apply the theme might be a bit different since all these desktop environments do things differently.
Mac Theme For Maternity
- Download either or both of the themes linked above. You’ll have tar.gz archive files once the download completes.
- Right-click on the file(s) and select Extract here. If you’re using the Dolphin file manager instead of the default Nautilus, select Extract > Extract archive here.
- Copy the extracted folder and head over to the .themes directory in your home folder. In order to see the .themes folder, you may have to press Ctrl+H for Nautilus and Alt+. for Dolphin. Just create a .themes folder if you still don’t see one.
- Paste the copied folder extracted earlier from the archive file.
- On GNOME, you can apply themes using the GNOME Tweak Tool. Launch GNOME Tweak tool and select McOS-MJV from the drop-down menu next to Applications.
