I struggle with chasing after the MacOS appearance.
It feels in passing like a lot of work to build a skin/UI that will always be a few generations of the design language behind and not quite there, just given the volume of staff at Apple and them being the ones defining where their design language goes.
Like a choice between a Porsche and, according to Google a Zotye -- they'll look close but one will be the obvious "genuine article."
Would it not be better to take all that talent and consider a fresh approach to the user experience of a personal computer?

Unrelated to RavynOS, but I see the size of the Apple staff more like a weakness not a strength. They became terribly inefficient in the recent years.
And still they will perform better than any FOSS attempt to clone their work.
Yeah, FOSS culture is unfortunately neither very good at design, nor attracting good designers for collaboration. Many engineers don't even respect design and/or designers.

As with code, imitate first, improve upon later seems like a reasonable approach.
