Make XFCE4 look like Windows
Posted by on September 6, 2011
Yet another panel configuration, but this time it looks like Windows.
Windows 7 (screenshot: http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/5062/windoze7screenshot.png):
- Type in a Terminal window:
xfce4-panel -q killall -KILL xfconfd killall -KILL xfsettingsd cd ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml mv xfce4-panel.xml xfce4-panel.xml.bak wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21016209/Windoze-XFCE4/Windoze-7/xfce4-panel.xml
- Log out and log back in (killall -KILL xfce4-session)
Windows Vista and below (screenshot: http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/398/windozevistascreenshot.png):
- Type in a Terminal window:
xfce4-panel -q killall -KILL xfconfd killall -KILL xfsettingsd cd ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml mv xfce4-panel.xml xfce4-panel.xml.bak wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21016209/Windoze-XFCE4/Windoze-Vista/xfce4-panel.xml
- Log out and log back in to see the new panel configuration!

I made my Xfce desktop look like unity a little differently:

Kinda pretty – and “docky” looking, like Unity.
Is that a globalmenu on the top? I would like to know how to make that work in Xfce.
No, it’s just nautilus 3’s menus :/
Have you ever actually used Windows before? : /
I have. If you want to make it look better, you can add a theme, and a themed version of gnomenu.
