After running OS X Mavericks on the last MacBook Pro to run it natively, it was time for me to move on to macOS Sierra after losing my MBP in a house fire. This is my take on a Mavericks theme for Sierra. 1.).Required. Disable System Integrity Protection (SIP). While your Mac is booting up, hold down command-R. Open Terminal from the Utilities menu. Enter the following command without quotation marks and press return.
CDock - Unleash your Dock. Small program to customize your dock on macOS 10.10 and above. There are several dock styles included and users can also create their own custom docks.
“csrutil disable” d. 2.) Menu Bar: Use Menu Bar Tint (free). To make the menu bar opaque, go to System Preferences.app/Accessibility/Display and select Reduce Transparency. 3.) Dock: Use cDock 2 (free). You may use the same settings as I did, or you can choose your own. 4.) Aesthetics, App Icons, Charging Sound, Menu Bar Icons, System Font, and System Icons and Sounds: Aesthetics – Includes traffic light icons, check boxes, radio buttons, etc. Charging Sound – Uses the iOS charging sound pre-iOS Menu Bar Icons – Uses OS X Mavericks icons for WiFi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, etc.
Use xRevert ($4.99). There are bugs with the Aesthetics files and System Font. The aesthetics files causes the text on push buttons to be uncentered, and highlighted items in Finder are unreadable. The system font option has spacing issues on the text on Safari tabs. I did not use these options. I modified the system appearance files myself, but kept the Sierra push buttons.
My files are located here: Copy these files to /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemAppearance.bundle/Contents For the iTunes traffic lights, copy the Assets.car file here: Paste it in /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources For the Siri icon, paste the Siri.icns file attached to this post here: /Applications/Siri.app/Contents/Resources 5.) Miscellaneous: I copied the Photo Booth.app and Calculator.app from my Mavericks backup, and these work fine in Sierra. Final product. So you are running Sierra but you made it look like Mavericks?
Interesting idea. I've just upgraded to Sierra from Mavericks myself (after testing it on a secondary drive) and I have to say the skin doesn't matter as much to me as does the functionality of my software.
In other words, as long as Adobe CS6 Master Collection and my other software is still functional in Sierra, it could look like a ten-year old's clown party and I'd be fine. Of course, the theme is visually very far from a clown party, and Sierra looks good to me (so far). To be honest, that's one of the fun aspects of a OS upgrade: Getting used to the tweaks and visual changes makes it seem like a new computer at times.

Like I said, changing Sierra to look like Mavericks is an interesting idea, though I suspect it has limited appeal. Post Merged, Nov 12, 2017 - Here's the link.
This is for SystemAppearance.bundle. To install them, go to: SystemLibraryCoreServicesSystemAppearance.bundle(right click and select 'Show Package Contents')ContentsResources Once there, simply paste the new files in and replace the old ones. Make sure you make a backup of the Resources folder in case you want to revert back or something goes wrong. Apps will immediately use them when restarted, but to apply it system wide, restart your machine.

I was perfectly happy with Mavericks and with the workflow I had developed with it and previous operating systems. But circumstances prompted me to upgrade and Sierra has completely mucked me up!
The one big problem is that Sierra, in it's current state, isn't allowing me to have multiple windows open at once. Here are some examples: 1) When working on a project it is sometimes necessary for me to have multiple text documents open, along with some PDFs in Preview, and maybe even stuff from an additional program. In the process of comparing and referring to these multiple documents, when I minimize them (in Mavericks) they go to the dock where I can easily find them and call them up.
But with Sierra, I'm only able to have ONE single document of ANY kind open at one time. And when I minimize something now it doesn't appear in the dock, it just slides into it's program icon, essentially disappearing.
And if I have a text document open then click on a second text document, it automatically closes the first one! So then I have to find it in it's original location instead of being able to pull it from the dock. This is incredibly inconvenient and inefficient.
2) Also, Sierra isn't allowing me to have multiple Finder windows open at once. Sometimes I need to drag or copy files from a subfolder in one window to a subfolder in another window.
But now when I have a folder open then click on a second folder, the second folder opens in a tab inside the window that's already open. So I have to go the the menu bar and manually tell it to open that second folder in it's own window.
That, at least, is a workaround but still incredibly inconvenient and inefficient. 3) It is common for me to be looking at a web page and then open a text document so that it's laying on top of the web page so that I'm able to make notes in my document while reading the web page. But, again, Sierra isn't allowing me to have multiple documents on the screen at the same time.
So when I pull up my text document the browser goes away. I can't work like this! These kind of seem like the same problem. Is there a way to reset this protocol to function like it does in Mavericks, where there are no limitations on open windows? If not, I have a pretty serious problem.
