zorin-desktop-themes VS inter

You can steal it from here. I might also use it nowvafter they finally released a GTK 4 version. The dark purple one looks the best in my opinion.

You can theme your OS to look like Zorin. Their themes are available on Github: https://github.com/ZorinOS/zorin-desktop-themes If you use KDE, it's even easier - someone did exactly that: https://store.kde.org/p/1769479

Other useful info: while researching the gtk2 problem I've come to the fact that many custom themes got problems with gtk2 apps (DC is one example). Probably the default elementary os theme has trouble too and I guess this is correct seeing how it behaves in your case. The only two themes that are working for me is Zorin and Lavanda theme. Maybe you can move the gtk2 folder from eOS 5.1.7 themes to 7.0 and it works. idk. it's only an assumption. the screenshot is from zorin-grey-light theme

Default Zorin OS uses GNOME + Zorin taskbar + Zorin icon themes + Zorin desktop themes.

It was a stepping stone my friend, if you need the theme, here you go: https://github.com/ZorinOS/zorin-desktop-themes

I couldn't agree more. I've been using it as my go-to font for web development (which is its exact design purpose) for years. Nothing looks bad in Inter[0]. It's an easy win.

The best features for web dev are great readability across its variety of weights (0-900 in CSS) from a single font file, along with a huge set of glyphs, ligatures, special numbers, etc. if you want them.

Yeah no... macOS doesn't have a font that looks uncomfortably tall like that. Use Inter at 9pt font size if you really want the macOS look.

Now you also need to download and install 'Inter' font. Go here: https://rsms.me/inter/ And download it, install it. We will use it later.

It’d be nice if something like Inter[0], which is specifically designed for onscreen/UI usage, were bundled with each OS and could be assumed to be present, making it unnecessary to include Arial or Helvetica in one’s stack.

If you are really trying to mimic macOS then you should try Inter. Current version is 3.19 but the much improved version 4.0 is coming out very soon (you can download the latest beta here). This font is pretty much an open-source alternative to Apple's SF fonts and they render at the correct size on all platforms. With a little tweaking of the font rendering, you can make it look almost identical to macOS.
