Nimbus-Vistalooks

Nimbus-Vistalooks is a GTK theme mod that provides a clearer color overall while adding Vista style menubar and panel from the LiNsta GTK theme. However, it is important to note that this is not a Vista clone but utilizes the Nimbus widgets instead. Those who want the Vista widgets should opt for either the LiNsta or Aero-clone themes.

Installing Nimbus-Vistalooks is a breeze. Simply right click on the desktop, select Change Desktop Background, and click on the first tab to access the Theme option. From there, drag and drop the theme's archive into the Appearance Preferences window. If installation is successful, expect to receive a confirmation message where you can then activate the theme by clicking on it.
