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
