    If someone wrote a Linux theme that could replicate Windows Aero, I would install it without a second thought.

    The B00merang Project has gotten most of the theme components mostly down, but without Aero it’s just not worth tweaking to get everything right.

    Chicago95 brought Windows 95 to Linux, I’m patiently waiting for someone to bring back Windows 7… A screenshot of Chicago95, a recreation of old Windows interfaces for Linux

      As far as I know there is areo theme plasma. It seems a little rough around the edges but it’s the best one I’ve seen so far. Pain to install imo though but it’s a bit of fun I say

        This looks absolutely excellent! It’s still not the beautiful frosted glass effect I like so much in Aero, but I don’t think I’ll ever see that reversed engineered (unless I gather the skills to do it myself).

        I’m definitely going to give this project a go, thank you very much for linking it!

          No worries :D. Sadly I don’t think it has the best effect of the shine on the titlebars moving at a different rate to the window position like in 7 + vista. But damn its close. Hopefully it can get some more contributes someday.

          Additionally just remembered this fantastic windows xp theme for xfce
