With this brand-new WinAte - Windows 7/8 Transformation Pack for LXDE - you will be able to get all the icons and overall appearance of Windows to your GNU/Linux box, without spending lots of resources nor having to adapt old Gnome 2 themes. Everything works just by executing the install.sh script. Just do that, logout and login again, and there should be a different feeling in the whole system.
I took some stuff from the old Win2-7 pack, and a bit of inspiration from the Imagine 7 and Imagine 8 themes for Openbox. All the config files, and the modifications to both sources were made entirely by me. Find me in Taringa.net
Required packages: gtk2-engines-murrine; gtk2-engines-pixbuf; compton.
IMPORTANT: THIS PACK HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO WORK WITH DEBIAN 8 (JESSIE), AND PROBABLY WON'T WORK WITH ANY PREVIOUS VERSION. UBUNTU IS CURRENTLY SUPPORTED (BY INSTALLING LXDE PACKAGE AND COMPTON PPA), BUT LUBUNTU ISN'T (THERE WILL BE AN UPDATE AVAILABLE SOON TO GET IT WORKING PROPERLY
For updating the pack, please uninstall any previous version first.
_____________________________________________
Con este completo pack de transformación de Windows 7 para LXDE, podrás modificar la experiencia de usuario y facilitar tu llegada al mundo de GNU/Linux! Sólo ejecuta el script "install.sh" en una terminal, cierra sesión y, al volver, todo estará renovado. 100% Libre.
Tomé algunas cosas del antiguo Win2-7 pack, y me inspiré un poco en los temas para Openbox Imagine 7 e Imagine 8 (pero no me gustaron del todo, por eso hice los míos propios). Todos los archivos de configuración y modificaciones a las fuentes las hice enteramente yo. Búscame en Taringa.net :)
Paquetes necesarios: gtk2-engines-murrine; gtk2-engines-pixbuf; compton.
IMPORTANTE: ESTE PACK ESTÁ DISEÑADO PARA FUNCIONAR CON DEBIAN 8 (JESSIE), Y PROBABLEMENTE NO FUNCIONE CON NADA ANTERIOR. UBUNTU ACTUALMENTE ESTÁ SOPORTADO (INSTALANDO PREVIAMENTE EL PAQUETE LXDE), PERO LUBUNTU NO (HABRÁ UNA ACTUALIZACIÓN PRONTO QUE LO SOPORTARÁ)
Para actualizar el pack, por favor desinstala cualquier versión previa antes de hacerlo.
Requirements / Requisitos:
- LXPanel
- LXSession (>= 0.4.9)(icons, gtk theme and cursor)
- PCManFM (wallpaper)
- Compton
- Openbox
- SLiM (for login theme)

I ran the install.sh file and answered all of the questions, then I tried to log off like it says, and when I log back on nothing changes. Why?

I was trying to install win ate in wheezy 7.5 but when I type the command by terminal i got this error:
1)Español
2)English
1/2?
2
./install.sh: 66: [: 2_: unexpected operator
./install.sh: 122: ./install.sh: Bad substitution
or this:
Su distro parece ser Debian. ¿Es correcto?(S/n)
Las carpetas de sistema no coinciden, o la distribución no está soportada. Para forzar la instalación, use "--force". Saliendo...
All the dependency are installed, so I don't know, but I really need to get work, can you help me please?
Thanks

Second, I've just tried the language selection, and for me it works, so I guess the problem is something you are writing wrong (I don't have a clue on what could it be, cos'...well, it's just a "2" .-.). I'm pretty sure that you can install everything by yourself, just sent me an email and I'll will answer it with the needed steps (do that by going to github, the link is at the beginning of this page).

can you tell me which license has "dm" theme?.
im also interested in install script.
btw. your theme is really horifying for an windows theme. look at my. w7-n theme.it is still far from an 100% clone but ... . ambiance 69 makes better win themes than you are doing.
please create linux looking themes its easier to do and it isn't good to start directly which such an difficult task.
you know that people who hate win would rate you down. people that expect win themes too.
just for an test: modify theme à bit and post it umder another name. people wouldnt vote down it so quickly. my first win themes were so bad that i had to delete them from gnome-look. they were more buggy than your theme.
your theme might resemble. win7 Ã litlle bit, but it is absolutely not looking like windows. ill vote it up, but..

you seem to follow the same goal as knoppix, startos or zorinos8, but for lowram systems.
you want an system that is to use that easy as windows, to help people migrating from windows.
anyway, you could also use. spacefm lxpanel and pekwm( is an fast , highly themable and not wellknown window manager).
your themes are under gpl. thx.

btw: i didn t search theme name on google , so i couldnt read github description.

Anyway, I'll check pekwm to see what can I do with it; I'm currently looking for a replace for openbox with support for not only 90 degrees corners at windows.

Thank-you for the additional information. What I eventually ended up doing was installing the package in an isolated test environment. I made a number of modifications to the install script provided with the package so that it would not negatively impact any of the standard system files or directory locations and then I experimented with account environment files until I got a desktop look that somewhat resembled a Win7 environment. What I really wanted most of all from the Windows desktop environment was the vertical and horizontal scroll-bar functionality. Although I have not been able to duplicate this using the X11 clients I have been able to get something close enough that I can use when scrolling in certain client applications. I`ve decided to wait a while to see if a working Win7 or Win8 theme (or decent lookalike) that can simply be selected using the Openbox Configuration Manager that comes with the standard Lubuntu desktop manager environment. Version 14.04 is very new as a release for Lubuntu so I expect this type of theme will eventually become available. I may also decide to go with the cairo dock environment (see glx-dock.org) after I experiment with it for a while since it`s a fairly slick looking desktop environment.

You mention that you intend to provide a version that will work on the Lubuntu platform. I just recently installed the Lubuntu 14.04 LTS release(with the provided LXDE desktop) on my laptop. Will the version you expect to provide for Lubuntu work with this release/version? I would really like to get a Win7 like desktop theme for this release of Lubuntu.
