It shows the stoplight-style close widgets on the right in the first screenshot and the left on the later ones. Is that configurable? It looks like the apps in the example are designed to use the space all the way up to y=0, so I didn't expect to be able to move them to the left, but it looks uncanny on the right. There's a difference between convention and brand infringement. I'd be down to try a theme that moved the widgets to a familiar place, but showing the Apple menu on a non-Apple system is a bridge too far.

There are certain terms that indicate membership in a particular set like management, sales, HR that include for a greater understanding of the particular field and a kind of othering of the rest of the human species because one's field is at odds with the rest of the population. EG only sales entertains the fantasy that it is serving the population by connecting needs and products. The rest of us recognize the cat stalking in the tall grass. "Brand Infringement" is one of those terms. Apple ought to be worried that Samsung is copying look and feel of their iphone because they are directly attempting to entice their customers away from their most profitable market. A theme for 0.5% of 1% of existing users of another OS to make their environment look like Mac carries none of the risk. Finding out if our judicial system actually considers it so it would probably require 2 parties and hundreds of thousands to a few mil to decide. A threatening letter might well shut something down to no benefit to anyone and at a cost of good will. So perhaps disengage boring business mode and enjoy nice things. After all do you really feel morally bad about theming your own desktop as if you should be respecting someone's "brand identity"
