Step 2. Download Mac OS X Mojave Theme and Icon Theme

To get a perfect look, please download the materials from the link below

Save all those files in your download directory. Next, let’s extract all those files. Extract the themes to /usr/share/themes and the icon theme should go to /usr/share/icons.

tar -xvf McOS-MJV.tar.xz --directory /usr/share/themes/
tar -xvf McOS-MJV-Dark-mode.tar.xz --directory /usr/share/themes
tar -xvf macOS11.tar.xz --directory /usr/share/icons

Now open Gnome Tweaks and apply the new themes and icon.

At this point, we now have Mojave GTK Theme and MacOS Icon installed.
