Make XP Look like Linux (Gnome Clearlooks)

Linux Gnome Clearlooks - XP Theme How To

I like Windows and Linux, but I've always liked the default Gnome theme.
I've managed to find an up to date theme and a more recent theme patcher tool than the guides currently available.

So if you want your XP to look clean and sleek like this:

Have a look at my guide: Linux Gnome Clearlooks - XP Theme How To

 

Nice simple guide

As for the Tango Patcher, Ive been using it for a while and it works great.

 

lol, is there something out there to let Vista look like XP or Windows 95

it doesn't dawn on me why some people like these things.

 

@Huupi - someone over at Neowin did ask how to make Vista look like XP. If any tools get suggested Ill make sure to share.

As for "these things", some people might like the look of another OS but they dont want to use the OS itself. Vista is an example.

 

I am a long time user of Super Turbo Tango Patcher by vertigosity. I really like the tango icons that, now, I cannot stand the look of the default XP icons.
As for Visual Styles, I have always like Human by FioreSSj and ClearLooks by schmoove, until WinGnomeXP started releasing his excellent visual styles. My current favorite is EarthCG. As a personal rule, I always choose a visual style that looks good with tango icons.
Great guide, by the way, Thanks!

 

Its just a personal thing,and i admit not even a point talking about,so many people so many tastes and thats great,but it always remind me of somebody driving in a ferari look a like made from a rebuild Toyota. lol

 

Huupi,

I like the classic style, easy on the eyes, aim was not to look like Linux, wanted something with a similar colour scheme but more modern and Clearlooks is the best I can think of .

 

Yes,you more convince me that me throwing up this item is barely meaningfull,sorry for that !?!

 

nickr, That is quite nice.

I'm the sort that sticks with the default themes in all the OS's I use. At least with XP Pro I changed the background.

 

LOL
This is a turn around: make XP look ;like Linux

To be fair the M$ fonts are better rendered.

BUT:
Get the real thing not a fake

 

If I patch my uxthteme file and apply the Clearlooks theme, what will happen when I install SP 3 for XP? Will I have to patch the file again? Thanks.

Yes, you have to patch it again.

 

Thanks much.
