Gnome XP/Vista Theme...how?

[Indyuk]

Hi All,

I was wondering whether anyone knows on a tutorial on how to make Gnome mimic XP/Vista without resorting to Compiz/Beryl? I prefer not to use Beryl/Compiz as that 1)can be unstable and 2)slow down Linux.

I'd appreciate any help on this.

Thanks

Hi and Welcome !

Have you checked gnome-look,org ? Its a good source of Gnome Themes and other stuff.

You can find some nice artwork at GNOME Art - Artwork & Themes, too.

Here's a theme that makes the window frames in Gnome look all XP-like:

Here is a fairly straightforward tutorial on how to make Gnome look like Vista. It's written for Ubuntu but can be applied to pretty much any distribution.
