Description:

Exact representation of the Blue Windows XP window borders.

I didn't find a decent metacity theme so I adapted the lunacity-theme for an exact replica.

For those who can not live without the windows look....

Since the hight of the top-windowborder depends on the size of the font I suggest using a font-hight of 12. This way the size is just right.


Goes fine with the XP 2002 GTK theme

Edit: Made the Maximized Window better and widened the buttons, also adapted right edge size.

Would be better than Lunacity if using transparent buttons for min and max title bar buttons, don't you think? so it could be easier make other Metacity versions of Luna... voted good anyway :)

have a good day,

I do not normally get into 'windows-lookealikes' (see my other work here in gnome look) but since there is apparently nobody that took the effort to make a decent replication of the typical Windows-borders I simply modified the lunacity-theme a bit to get a better match.

I have no intention to put more effort into other variants... That I leave to other more interested themers out there.

I wasn't really satisfied with version 1.0 so I modified it and is now version 2.0
