I'd try that on Puppy, but honestly, I'm pretty happy with JWM on it.

 

Looks ugly, the lighter shade of blue on the taskbar is one solid color while the dark blue part is the orignal xp taskbar, the logoff button is wrong, both the logoff and shutdown button are way too small, and the start button looks terrible.

 

I used the original 'Blue Royale' theme for about a week in total. For the next 14 years, I used the Professional theme; it looked way better, IMHO.

The last year or so I was using XP, I discovered the 'Royale Noir' theme. Now, that was stylish...!!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that looks just plain awful.

Also, the point isn't that we like XP's gui as a reason for not switching to Linux. Its that Linux is hard to use, wine/crossover doesn't work for all the apps/games we want, and there are just so many technical issues with Linux. We don't want Linux even with an XP theme.
