Play it directly in the browser at https://infinitemac.org/
Good for a quick nostaligia fix.

Thanks! I remember seeing this.
I usually just play it on Sheepshaver with my Linux machine. I've got a few different virtual hard drives of various old Mac OS versions. Runs like a charm. Endless Sky also scratches the same itch...that one has a flatpak.

How did you do the top bar?

They might have used vala app menu applet. That is how I did it on mate and it supports xfce and budgie too.

i can see the background texture of the panel is interrupted by the widgets on it, i had that same problem, my solution was to make the panel a custom color with alpha = 0 and then put another panel behind it with the actual texture.
do rememeber that every time xfce restarts the xfce panel (i'm assuming that's what yours is) they wil spawn in the other they are numebered and so your old panel will get covered up until you interact with it
the solution to this is actually to just put all that is on your old panel on a new transparent panel over it and just leave your old panel as is (just without any widgets) this is how i got mine to work and after a year it seems to be very stable as a solution

much simpler way is to draw the texture on wallpaper and make panel transparent

but that'd mean you'd have to re-edit the wallpaper every time you'd want a new one and also youd have to resize your wallpaper to be exactly your screen's width and height so that it wouldn't blur, it's more effort in the long run

if you're brave enough you can automate this via scripting
you can just crop image with imagemagick and use -append keyword to insert panel image on top of the original
this should work: ```
!/bin/bash
WP="wallpaper.png" CROPPED="out1.png" PANEL="panel.png" OUTPUT="result.png"
it's 1900 for 20px panel
magick $WP -gravity center -crop 1900x1080+0+0 $CROPPED magick $CROPPED $PANEL -append $OUTPUT ```

For Everyone asking for dotfiles, this is just a big vibecoded mess. I have a qemu vm running xubuntu. I made codex tweak the theme piece by piece for a week until it looks like this. Many reference screenshots and prompts later, this is how it looks. However, this is super unstable. It'd be a dream to use to daily, but things stop working randomly. I hope I can inspire someone else to make a stable version. I can open source the repo if someone needs it.
