WinXP Silver theme transforms the Linux user interface to resemble the Windows XP Silver theme. It offers a familiar look and feel for users who are transitioning from Windows to Linux, and adds a touch of nostalgia to the Linux desktop.
Special thanks have been given to Krig for his XP 2002-theme, which was adapted for this package, and Casey Kirsle's Lunacity Silver-theme, which was modified for a better match.
The installation process of the WinXP Silver GTK is straightforward. You need to untar the package twice, open the WinXP silverPack-file and follow the how-to guides. The screenshot of the Firefox theme 'Strata XP on Linux' is included.
The developers encourage users to vote for the quality of work done and make constructive comments. They also provide easy-to-follow instructions on how to install the package. You can install it by right-clicking on the desktop, selecting change desktop background, and clicking on the first tab 'Theme.' Drag and drop the theme's archive in the Appearance Preferences window. If everything goes well, you will receive confirmation to activate the theme just by clicking on it.
