Adapta-X [Ubuntu Unity Version for OS-X style of Buttons]

My Spin On The Adapta GTK Theme :

Adapta is a beautiful GTK+ Theme that I love. But Adapta generally comes with shitty Close/Minimize/Maximize buttons so I decided to hack it into something more OS-X like. Adapta is one of those precompiled themes so it's not easy to tweak it through regular methods and you can break your Unity/Gnome setup by doing so but there is a workaround.

I love the OS-X style Control buttons so those would be good to have. Compare the Max/Min/Close in below Screenshots.

How to Get OS-X style Control Button's (Max/Min/Close) + Adapta Theme :

  1. Use this to install Adapta Theme on your Ubuntu Desktop
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tista/adapta
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install adapta-gtk-theme

  1. Head over to Unity-Tweak-Tool and apply Adapta Theme.

  2. Copy /usr/share/themes/Adapta to ~/.themes

    cp -r /usr/share/themes/Adapta /home/$USER/.themes/xyz
  1. Rename it as Adaptax so that now you have a folder ~/.themes/Adaptax
    mv /home/$USER/.themes/xyz /home/$USER/.themes/Adaptax
  1. Copy and Replace entire contents of downloaded folder Unity to ~/.themes/Adaptax/Unity
  1. Go Ahead to Unity-Tweak-Tool now there will be an Entry named Adaptax, click on it and exit, your old shabby Max/Min/Close buttons have been replaced with Modern OS-X style buttons.

Optional : For a windows 10 Icon instead of Default Unity Dash Icon Like : Alt text Copy and Replace the file in Extra to ~/.themes/Adaptax/Unity
