Cool, except you forgot to drag the main/only panels' icon/launchers to the dead center

I've been doing that on my winturd builds ( back when I used to use windows since even the xp days) and linux distros for years.

My question is, WHY?

[Webbie]

This is what I used,


Theme/Window:

Icons:

Background/Wallpaper:

and the Startbutton for windows 11/windows 10:

My question is, WHY?

Windows looks good but crashes, lags and other things, thats why I went over to linux so I can play games and have fun chatting without any of those problems.

Oh, I know about windows. That is why I kicked it to the curb over 12 years ago and have been using Linux since then. I was just wondering why you would want your Linux to look like it. I have done my best to avoid and forget about that mess since I left it.

like the time that I've made my Lenovo 100s
- to look like an win-xp system ?
even though it's running an win-10 system.


it's your machine .. to play with.

I believe windows looks good, thats simply the reason I wanted this looks. But Linux loads faster so this is good for me now

Hahah, OMGosh, why on Earth would you want your distro to look like $hit? I'm trying my best (and succeeding) in making my distro looking as far away from Windows as possible and I suspect I'm not the only one in that endeavour. I even added a special icon for the menu to indicate what I think about Crapindows.

For the love of everything good and holy why????

So did I . . . . and 95 and 7 and 10

Making it look like 11 is extremely uninteresting. Aero was great but then design regressed below the standard of win 1. Win98 is great, Luna is a litlle better and aero on vista and 7 was the best desifgn imho. Apple Aqua skins where very good too tough, until they got the flat problem. However apple still looks ways better than 11 imho. win3.11 was very nice, 11 ist soo terrible to look at.

[majpooper]

It's impossible to argue what "looks better" - just look at the screen shot thread, tastes run the spectrum. Dark and flat themes are very unappealing to me but some folks love them. Windows icons are meh and Mac, to me looks like someone tried to make it look cool but failed and yet others think Mac is beautiful. I am not a fan of the default Mint theme/icons look but the nice thing about Mint is that it is easy to change the look to something more pleasing.

I didn't make Mint look like Windows because I liked the Windows look. I originally did it because someone wanted their Mint to be as close to Windows 7 as possible. I got the look pretty close . . . but the feel? ? ? They were happy though. The others I did just to play. I had installed Mint on an old MacBook circa 2009 a few years back - that person eventually got a refurbished laptop on which I had installed Mint and gave it to me. Since it was so under powered and it was a old Mac I thought it would be kind of fun(ny) to make it look like Windows 95. Get it . . . an old Mac with Windows.

What use is freedom if others discourage you from exercising it?

True.

If I worried about what everyone else said on this planet, I'd never accomplish anything. If it doesn't hurt them what so ever ( economically, directly and physically, as well as property damage involvement), then George Carlin said it best...

Webbie. That looks pretty cool. cheers.

...and all along I thought MS made Win11 look like Linux

[majpooper]

I have improved on my Win11 "look" from above.
To tell the truth I did go through a Windows (I did 95, 7 10 and 11) and Mac look alike phase for a while mostly for the heck of it but after I did and perfected it to some degree I tired of it. Mostly because look is not the same as feel. But yeah, I get it . . . it's fun, for a bit anyway.


Now I'm trying to create a nice look and definitely something different from Windows or Mac for the Mint installs that I provide for folks. I just did two installs one for a 7th grader (Macbook Pro died) and one for a grad student (was going to ditch a Windows laptop). Pretty big spread in age but they both were excited about linux as something new and different. Both caught on to Mint pretty quickly and were enthusiastic.
