Actually my question is, has anyone ever heard of anyone else trying? I think I would give it a shot as I can't find evidence. |

Because both are completely different interfaces. Neither of them work as Windows or Mac's interfaces. GNOME only really looks like OSX in Ubuntu, and that is only because of a bar across the top. However that bar is for program management, and nothing to do with the running app. I'm not familiar how it works in the newest version but gnome does not mimic OSX besides the left side window control buttons. KDE has gone through a lot of changes through the years, and yeah it has a start menu clone, but it is smooth and its just a different interface to use rather than the Finder in OSX, Aqua is just the theming used in the Finder, rather than Platinum which was the previous theme. Anyway I did find out that at least KDE has ports to install it on OSX or even in windows. I guess I answered my own question. |

Install macports - and port search kde. You'll find a bunch of stuff. I went off of this webpage Mark Aufflick's Weblog I believe there is a kde-devel port that came with pretty much everything for kde. |
