ok. Before i start,…. This is about having only the look of windows 7 on a linux rig. nothing more. If you might take any offence, then leave without reading any further. And this is not a total convert, just the look of the desktop.
Ok. So, Today, out of the blue, i had a day off. I didn’t know what to do. Was just looking around since last night. Tried a few things here and there, then suddenly i chanced upon this piece of software called GnoMenu. Which kinda rekindled memories, a few things from the past. So once again, i decided to try to make the desktop look a little different from the usual plain jane default desktop. I know this aint’t cool what i have done. But, i kinda like it.
What did it do? Well i set off to change the appearance of the desktop to that of similar to Windows 7. And i can say i kinda achieved it mostly. Except the windows and icons look and stuff. But looking at the desktop is sure to confuse if it is a linux gig or wat…
Take a look and say how is it…
My laptop does not have those 3d thingis, so i had to stop with this, i tried to install the themes and stuff, but they kinda depend on emerald, compiz and others. So I am happy with wat i achieved. Later i found out some more of those how to do stuff, i liked one of those, though it did not work out for me, because of the above mentioned reason, may be it helps you. Take a look here.
