unknownsystem ( GTK2/3 + Cinnamon)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
An theme trying to look like an really well unkown system- that`s the way i found the name for the theme. Tested on ubuntu 13.04 and 13.10 ( i will addd 14.04 support soon)
Enjoy!
If you want to know the cinnamon menu hack post a comment.!

what I would like, would be a completely transparent gtk3-theme which looks like glassy.
This means: transparent border, these window-buttons and transparent gtk.
Could this work out??

first let me say: this Theme looks like a very wellknown System... :-D The look is from Windows8.
But question: where did you get the icons from?? Can you post a link to these icons??
And yes, the Cinnamon-hack would really interest me, because I think, this is no real hack. This is
just one of the menues out of the Cinnamon-Applets, right??
But: tell us about your hack.

used applets:
window-list: http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/16
windows 7 style-menu -2.0 : http://cinnamon-spices.linuxmint.com/applets/view/78 OR
Stark Menu 2.0.14- : fetch it from github
Cinnamon 2.0 - 2.0.14 maybe unsopported, no idea what ..
Firefox use theme Office 2010 Aero -/ works well on newer gtk2/ (persona/theme/css) ?? firefox versions and even on firefox FIREFOX 29.0 gtk3 nightly.
Icons are posted on:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/icons
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install win-icons
Took me some time to update the whole icon pack to gtk3 compatibility. You might be interested to "add" the places folder if you run much KDE PROGRAMS. Simply merge the filesystem and devices folder into it and change the theme settings file a bit. Are yoiu able to send me some scrrenshot of the well "unknown OS". Some icons have changed from 7 to 8 or am i wrong ?
Hack for 2.0.14 (to make it look as in my screenshot ( "fix" "Start/Stark"Menu deplacement )
on earlier versions like 1.7.4 there was also something to do with the bottom left edge part of the js. Have this patch safed on my harddisk to.
/usr/share/cinnamon/js/ui/boxpointer.js
// Now align and position the pointing axis, making sure
// it fits on screen
switch (this._arrowSide) {
case St.Side.TOP:
case St.Side.BOTTOM:
resX = sourceCenterX - (halfMargin + (natWidth - margin) * alignment);
resX = Math.max(resX, monitor.x + 1);
resX = Math.min(resX, monitor.x + monitor.width - (1 + natWidth));
this.setArrowOrigin(sourceCenterX - resX);
break;
case St.Side.LEFT:
case St.Side.RIGHT:
resY = sourceCenterY - (halfMargin + (natHeight - margin) * alignment);
resY = Math.max(resY, monitor.y + 1);
resY = Math.min(resY, monitor.y + monitor.height - (1 + natHeight));
this.setArrowOrigin(sourceCenterY - resY);
break;
}

thanks for you message!! This is nice as Cinnamon does no longer support Berryl-Emerald.
In early Ubuntu-versions, I had used Emerald-Themes to imitate this W7-Windowborder.
But I am happy, that you did this theme for us. What about the idea, to make one with a
glassy border and these buttons??
Thanks a ton for your work!! :-)

transparent borders could be working. Or do you want blur effects. Explain what you mean, please.

I have Cinnaon 2.0 running and I have to say: the first part of your instruction does not work. The
installation of this menue causes Cinnamon-Crash.
I installed it from the settings-menue. In the applets-section, there is this menue.
But I will install your icons, because you also have the elementary-icons in your pack, which I like.
Then I have all these Windows-Wallpapers already here on storage.

just use your win-icons, together with this Stark-menue and use the Cloud-Cinnamon-theme
and add a original Windows7-Wallpaper!
The only thing you need, is such an aery gtk3- theme, that looks like Windows7. I would wish,
you did such a theme.
Cheers,

installed your ppa-repository! Thanks a ton!
Now I just look out for such an aery gtk3-theme, for let it look more like Windows. :-D
But I also installed your elementary-icons and your Win-icons. I am really looking forward, how
they will look like. I personnaly preferr the original look of Windows-icons.
But I also like the elementary-icons, because I like some parts out of elementryOS. There I also
have the wallpapers here on storage. :-)

This is a nice Window7-like looking menue and this works in Cinnamon2.0!
Try out this!
And now I will install several of these Icons...
