Help getting Linux look in XP

from WinCustomize Forums
Hi. Wanted to know if there was any way to make windows xp look like linux- kde ,gnome etc Maybe using objectbar or external programs to help achieve this effect. Seen alot of stuff for mac and vista look but not much on linux.If someone can point me in the right direction that'd be greatly appreciated

Well, there aren't a lot of Linux styles made for WB mainly because they are rather boring, but if you have access to skin studio you can download one of the millions of XP styles made that look like many of the different linux styles.

Here are a few from this site:

A few more:
https://www.wincustomize.com/Skins.aspx?LibID=1&view=1&sortby=4&sortdir=DESC&p=1&advanced=0&searchtxt=KDE

A lot of these skins are quite old but they may do the trick. Good luck!

Hoverdesk can do that. Look at www.hoverdesk.net for the program and at http://manni.deviantart.com for the themes.
