This quick tutorial shows how to customize the left panel in Ubuntu 19.10 Gnome desktop to make it look like Mac OS Dock launcher. The left panel in Ubuntu 19.10 is handled by Gnome Shell extension called ‘Ubuntu Dock‘, a fork of Dash to Dock extension. The ‘Ubuntu Dock’ is highly customizable though the default. Install Slingshot Launcher (Mac os Style) on Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric (xfce, kubuntu,lmde)/11.04 Natty(xfce, kubuntu,lmde)/Linux Mint(xfce, kubuntu,lmde) An Elementary OS launcher (slingshot) is application launcher like Mac OS application launcher which use in Elementary OS Distro (New Ubuntu Based Distro).

Below is my Unity desktop with Plank dock (Unity Launcher is hidden).
Plank is meant to be the simplest dock on the planet. The goal is to provide just what a dock needs and absolutely nothing more.
To install it, open terminal from the Dash (or press Ctrl+Alt+T). When it opens, run the commands below one by one:
Above commands add the developer’s PPA, update system cache and finally install the dock. Works on Ubuntu 15.04, Ubuntu 14.10, and the two LTS (Ubuntu 14.04 & 12.04).
Once installed, start the dock from the Dash / Menu. You can add app shortcuts by opening an application and then pin the shortcut to dock from its context menu.
To configure the dock, right click on the first icon on the dock and select Preferences. There you can change theme, position, icon size, auto-hide behavior, and more.
There are only 3 themes available by default. You can download & install the Plank Themer to get 25 more themes, just download & install the “plank-themer_***_all.deb” package via Ubuntu Software Center.
To autostart Plank dock at login, open Startup Applications utility from the Dash and add plank into the list.
There are a few things Mac OS X (now macOS) has done really well that I miss when using other operating systems. One of them is their Terminal program. Specifically, the tabs and the built-in themes, some of which are really easy on the eyes.
Fortunately, the GNOME Terminal that comes default with Ubuntu can be set to use tabs by default, and it supports theming.

Getting Tabs Going
Mac Os Style For Ubuntu Linux
This one is really easy. From the menu bar, head toEdit -> Preferences. I’ll leave a couple screenshots with the appropriate areas highlighted.
If you’re accustomed to Cmd-T on the Mac (aka WindowsKey-T or Super-T), you’ll notice the default here is Shift-Ctrl-T.

If Shift-Ctrl-T kills the muscle memory you developed on macOS, you can change it to Cmd-T (Super-T) here, but keep in mind the Super key will trigger the Activities overlay if you don’t follow through with the T. Ctrl-T isn’t a great option either, because CLI programs often use CTRL-modifiers so you can cause some pickles for yourself if you start binding things with CTRL.
Note that while verifying some of those modifiers I ate a Terminal crash (which is usually quite rare). Long term it’s probably better to get used to the new Shift-Ctrl-T default anyway, if you can manage it.
Custom Themes (Profiles)
On the Mac, I was pretty attached to the “Novel” theme, since it was extremely easy on the eyes. Unsurprisingly, it’s the first one I converted to GNOME Terminal.
For the sake of completeness I went through the rest as well. So here we go.
Start in the menu by going to Edit -> Preferences -> Profiles. Hit the New button.
Give your profile a Name. I prefer choosing a smaller custom font (10-11pt Liberation Mono, Nato Mono, or Ubuntu Mono), but that’s up to you.
Head to the Colors tab, and you’ll see something like this:
Find your favorite(s) below.
You’ll have to click the color boxes, hit the “+”, and manually enter each color for the theme you want – you can copy/paste from the tables below. It’ll take a while but if it makes you feel better, it probably took me longer to write these all down.
Again, just copy/paste the colors. The text is small because tables and mobile frequently don’t get along. Small lessens the pain. It should still be large enough to easily double-click (or triple-click) and CTRL-C though.

A Few Notes
I may have made a typo somewhere.
Install Mac Os On Ubuntu
Default (Text), Cursor (Text), and Highlight (Text) are all the same color (so you can copy*1 and paste*3 if you want).
Note that Highlight (Text) isn’t really accurate… the only way to set the Highlight (BG) color was unfortunately to also fill in *something* for Highlight (Text) . Ideally we wouldn’t have to fix this to a specific color, but we do, so it’s the same as the Default to at least avoid visibility issues.
The table text is small because tables and mobile always cause me headaches. Really, just copy/paste the stuff. Double-click to select the text (000000). Triple-click if you want to include the # sign (#000000).

Check the images before spending time putting together a profile…Mac OS is a little more stingy when it comes to coloring stuff in the terminal (directories, executables, etc), so it gets away with a few colors that don’t contrast well. You may want to tweak some colors slightly afterwards.
