If they are installed seperatly does anyone have a websites that lists them? or links to some favourites?

These links should get you going. The Mac like doc you'll get by installing Awant Window Navigator (first link). The 3D cube effect you get from either Beryl or Compiz (second and third link). http://ubuntusite.com/apples-the-dock-in-linux-mint/ http://linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_Beryl_on_Linux_Mint http://ubuntusite.com/how-to-enable-desktop-effects-in-linux-mint/ Cheers!
