If you’re looking to make your Ubuntu desktop look more like macOS Mojave’s Dark Mode, there are a few things you can do. First, install the Dark Theme for Ubuntu app. This app lets you change the look of your Ubuntu desktop to match the dark mode in macOS Mojave. Second, use the Appearance preferences in Ubuntu to change the color of windows, menus, and other elements. You can also change the background color and opacity of windows. Finally, use applications like GNOME Tweak Tool or System Preferences to customize your desktop experience further. ..
If you’re a Linux user who likes the look of the dark mode coming in macOS Mojave, you’re in luck: there’s a GTK theme just for you.
The theme is available on Gnome-Look.org alongside several other macOS inspired themes. You’re looking for the one titled McOS-MJV-Dark-mode, but feel free to download more if you think you might want to switch it up later.
Installing is a little tricky: you need to create a .themes directory in your home folder, then extract the folder in the downloaded archive into that folder. Next you need to install Gnome Tweaks in the Ubuntu Software Store, which you can use to change the theme. You can also use Gnome Tweaks to move the buttons to the left side of the window, where they belong. Fight me.
Our thanks to Joey Sneddon at OMG Ubuntu for pointing this theme out to us. It’s not a perfect match for Mojave’s dark mode, but it’s a lot better than the terrible Windows Dark Mode.
