Mac Os X Terminal Clone for Ubuntu

I would like to set the Max OS X Terminal theme for Ubuntu Terminal. I really like the fonts and the colors. This is how the Mac Terminal does look:

There are few things that I want to see in the Ubuntu Terminal:

  • I want to replace username@desktop:~/Dropbox$ with the username and the computer name in this format: desktop:Dropbox username$

  • I want to change the Terminal font to look like in the Mac terminal.

  • I want to change the color scheme to be like the Mac terminal color scheme.

Is this possible? How?


Note that I don't want to change the Ubuntu theme. I use Unity with default theme, but I want to change only the terminal settings because it's the most used application by me.

### Prompt style
export PS1="\033[0;33m\h:\W \u\$ \e[m"

Now the terminal looks like this:
