LXP is a desktop enviroment identical to Windows XP. LXP is a collection of different pieces of GNU software (icewm, xfe, idesk, etc) modified in order to look and feel identical to Windows XP. LXP has its own icewm themes and utility pack.

Gotta try this out!!

Disagreed. I tried to make it a lot like Windows and succeded and then I learnt that it was all for nothing, it didnt even seem to make things look familiar, and then I switched back and the default KDE/GNOME looks looked normal to me :D

I downloaded the deb package and installed in my edgy but nothing happened, I tried changing my current theme to this one , it was not there . I tried installing again , but it said already installed . what config does it need ??? how to apply it ???

@~Phenom~ its not a theme, its an environment, logout and change the session from options.

gotta test it!!

it is only a theme for icewm desktop enviorement. gnome is certainly better in terms of functionality. installed now, it reminds me of xubuntu (print screen key not working). here are my screenshots http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?p=368677#post368677
