DeLorean-Dark is a highly polished glass and metal theme showcased within dramatic contrasts and is for those who like dark themes, for Ubuntu 15.04/14.10/14.04 it has themes for GTK and Xfce but for previous Ubuntu versions it offers Gnome Shell version also. Gnome Shell theme is dropped for latest versions because every new Gnome release breaks the theme, so developer of this theme discontinued Gnome Shell version but it support latest GTK for Gnome desktop also. In this PPA this theme is available for GTK 3.14/3.12/3.10/3.8/3.6/3.4. I tested this theme with Gtk 3.14/3.12/3.10/3.8/3.6/3.4, Gnome Shell 3.8/3.6 and Xfce, there is also a theme for openbox included in the pack. There could be difference between in themes for GTK versions. As you may know that Ubuntu software center has text issue with dark themes, this pack also offers theme for software center. There can be bugs in the theme since it is in active development you can report bug/problem to the developer via source link. You can use Unity Tweak Tool, Gnome-tweak-tool or Ubuntu-Tweak to change themes.

This package also contains a graphical version of the mkvinfo tool, which allows one to get information about a Matroska file.
MKVToolNix command-line tools does pretty much same thing this is intended for those who don't have GUI desktop on their system. Matroska is a new multimedia container format, based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language), which is a kind of binary XML. These tools allow one to manipulate Matroska files. mkvmerge is a tool to create Matroska files from other formats mkvinfo allows one to get information about the tracks in a Matroska file mkvextract can extract tracks from Matroska files to other formats mkvpropedit can edit header and chapter information without remuxing. This package only provides command-line tools. For graphical tools, you should install the mkvtoolnix-gui package.
Matroska aims to become THE Standard of Multimedia Container Formats. It was derived from a project called MCF, but differentiates from it significantly because it is based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language), a binary derivative of XML. EBML enables the Matroska Development Team to gain significant advantages in terms of future format extensibility, without breaking file support in old parsers.

Mac OS (MBuntu) Transformation pack is ready for Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet
(Note: For best results use Unity or you can also use under Gnome Shell & Cinnamon, and for previous MacBuntu versions for previous Ubuntu releases link to posts are given.)

Finally after a lot of work MBuntu OS Y (Macbuntu Yosemite) transformation pack is ready for Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Vervet. We could have made everything automated but in this way you guys won't get how stuff gets done in Linux, so we kept everything semi-automatic and pretty much interactive. This pack contains themes for GTK (supports: Unity, Gnome, Cinnamon, Mate, and Xfce), two themes for Gnome Shell, one theme for Cinnamon, one icon pack, cursors, and this time we dropped boot screen support because there are some issues going on with boot screen customization. Themes used in this pack contains some parts from other sources credit also goes to these guys (Cinnamon, Gnome Shell theme from Yosemite Shell, some parts from Zuki) and Jared from Ravefinity helped us for making theme compatibility and fixing bugs in themes, and some icons also collected from different sources[1], docky themes are Ambiance and Buyi-idock. By following these instructions you can change look of your Ubuntu 15.04 to look like Mac. In previous packs we used LightDM webkit theme which looks quite similar to Mac OS X login screen, this time we are offering again but you have to use it on your own risk because many users reported issues after installing it.
As you know guys we are doing Mac packs from quite sometime because such packs for Linux are almost stopped but we kept this project on our to do list from 12.04, and this time we have reached to 15.04 with Mac transformation. Many people look on the internet for pre-configured Macbuntu 15.04/Mac4lin, Mac Ubuntu theme and so on, but it is good idea to transform it by yourself because if you want to go back to default look or want to change look you can do it easily. Offering this pack no hate or infringing behavior is intended, simply designed for those who don't want to use Mac or can't use Mac for any reason.
Note: If you encounter any bug in theme/icons/any stuff, report to us with screenshot or problem with details.
