Linux settings _ How To Make linux look like Win8

Now I live in the hot summer, but compared to the storm that will be caused by the articles I am writing, it is still quite gentle: Yes! I am writing an article on the WindowsGTK topic.

Now I live in the hot summer, but compared to the storm that will be caused by the articles I am writing, it is still quite gentle: Yes! I am writing an article on the Windows GTK topic.

 

Okay, I was not sitting at the desk and thought, "My Ubuntu Desktop really needs... it looks like another operating system !". When I confirm that imitating the appearance of another operating system is not appetizing to me, but there are so many users in the world, maybe some users, including you, will be interested in this!

There is no problem with this. Although this will attract a lot of fanatics or spammers, the flexibility provided can also better serve the creators, Custom Users and theme makers. So I said, "Why not ?"

Modern UI of Winodws 8

"Windows XP cartoon blue borders and over-transparent Aero Glass themes have long expired"

Windows is the most widely used operating system in the world ~ It's not surprising that GTK's mountain and Metacity themes will be used to imitate the appearance of Windows.

 

However, Windows XP's older cartoon blue borders and over-transparent Aero Glass are outdated. The current hot topic should be a colorful modern UI.

Windows 8 introduces a smooth, solid, and distinctive theme feature, the Microsoft Desktop operating system. According to the unified design of other Microsoft products, such as Windows Phone 8 and Xbox One provide users with many similarities.

Compared with other theme topics, Windows 8 GTK embodies its design feeling. I admit that I do not often use Windows 8 so that I can have a good understanding of all aspects of its design, but this topic already includes most of its surface designs. If I pass this score, this topic is successful.

At the same time, flat themes are not exclusive to Microsoft, and themes such as Iris Light and which we shared recently are all very popular in Linux.
