Lightbulb Windows XP look on Linux!!

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

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/show...677#post368677
