WinXP Silver GTK includes a GTK2 and Metacity themes for the GNOME desktop environment.

Developer comments

I tried to make an gnome-GTK-theme and Metacity-theme that are a close match to the original.

Included: Theme, Background, Green start button, font and Howto's

Special thanks to Krig, his XP 2002-theme (at Gnome-look.org) was used and adapted.

Special thanks to Casey Kirsle's Lunacity Silver-theme which I modified for a better match.

Install: Untar twice (yes twice!) then open the WinXP silverPack-file and follow the Howto's.

'Strata XP on Linux' is the firefox-theme in the screenshot.

Please vote for the QUALITY of the Work done. No need for another round of Windows-bashing here....

Make constructive comments please

How to install?

· Right click on your desktop and select Change Desktop Background
· Click on the first tab: Theme
· Drag and drop the theme's archive in the Appearance Preferences window.
· If everything is OK, you will receive a confirmation message and you can activate the theme just by clicking on it.

About GNOME:

GNOME is an international effort to build a complete desktop environment—the graphical user interface which sits on top of a computer operating system—entirely from free software. This goal includes creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs which manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management.

GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, most notably Linux, and as part of Java Desktop System in Solaris.

The name originally stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, though this acronym is deprecated. The GNOME project puts heavy emphasis on simplicity, usability, and making things “just work”.
