Turns your desktop more… lickable.

Mavernix is a Linux desktop with a menu bar up top, a dock down below, and windows that cast real shadows. Under the hood it's built on Wayfire and Quickshell.
On a fresh install it looks pretty plain, and that's on purpose. The fun starts if you've still got an old installer for a classic system somewhere. Hand it to the Theme Installer and it builds the whole look right on your machine:
| Your installer | Turns into | Status |
|---|---|---|
| OS X 10.9.5 Mavericks | Sea Lion, light and dark | supported |
| Mac OS X 10.3 Panther | soon | |
| Mac OS 9 | maybe.. |
Mavernix doesn't ship any of Apple's files. Every look is built from your own copy of the installer.
Mavernix is built and tested on Arch Linux. It is in the AUR as mavernix:
yay -S mavernixThen pick Mavernix on your login screen. Want to build it yourself? See docs/building.md.
Just want to look around first? dev/run-in-container runs it in a Podman container, no install needed.
Bug reports, themes and docs fixes are all welcome, and you don't need to know any C++. See CONTRIBUTING.md.
