A Windows XP 'Total Conversion' project for the XFCE desktop environment on Linux, providing pixel-perfect themes, icons, cursors, and custom programs to recreate the XP experience. It goes beyond simple theme ports by including shell components like a Start menu, written in C and SASS.

Use cases

  • make my Linux desktop look like Windows XP
  • get a pixel-perfect Luna theme for XFCE
  • recreate the Windows XP Start menu on Linux
  • install XP-style icons and cursors on XFCE
  • turn XFCE into a Windows XP environment
  • find a complete XP total conversion instead of just a GTK theme

When to choose

  • you want the most faithful Windows XP recreation on XFCE, including shell components themes can't provide
  • you are a Windows/Linux enthusiast customizing your own desktop for nostalgia
  • you want an actively developed XP theming project based on Adwaita for better GTK3 compatibility

When to avoid

  • you want to install it on a novice's computer to ease them into Linux - the author explicitly discourages this
  • you need a polished, bug-free theme for production or work machines
  • you expect exact Windows XP behavior like a C: drive or genuine Windows programs
