Description:

Windows Vista Theme (MidnightBlackPlastic Revisited)
Installation:
Unpack the theme into /home/your_username/.themes (if you don't have it, just create it (press CTRL+h to show .name files))
I fixed the original unchangeble-color setting so you are now able to change them.
If you experience problems of visualization of the theme just change the background colors (text, background, selection) in System>Preferences>Appereance>Colors.
For a correct visualization of the theme you MUST have this theme installed to work:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntulooks+Engine?content=43255

It's possible that in Jaunty the theme won't be recognized the first time, so you have to customize it from:
System>Preferences>Appereance
to set it to it's default settings:
First tab: MidnightBlackPlastic
Second tab: colors you wish, remeber that the first row has to be "white, white, color you wish".
Third tab: MidnightBlackPlastic

If you want them:
Wallpaper:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Linux+Broken+Vista+(Revisited)?content=99242
Gnomenu theme (you have to install it first, from launchpad):
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Linux+Broken+Vista?content=99593

It works fine with my (Mheltin CC) vista icon theme:

Why copy something that is so ugly and arguably inferior to what's available on Linux. Dumb. Voted down.

If you don't like it it doesn't mean that my work is so bad as you say.
It's mainly for people who are newbye of linux and want a vista looking system.
And of course for those who don't think that if I put a vista theme on linux, linux become vista O.o
Linux is still linux.

 Linux is about freedom

Linux is about freedom, freedom is "do whatever the hell you want with your computer", I hate windows also, will probably never use it again in my life, but people are free to do whatever they want.....

Actually I don't know if xfce uses gtk2 or not, but if you want I can try to correct your current theme in this one too.

 Good Look Alike

Funny how there is always somebody giving it the "I hate Mac/Windows" on here...

Because most of the categories top places are dominated by Mac/Windows clones.

Asides show me a Linux User who does not use those "restricted extras" (M$ code)

 Cool theme

Totally agree. The hypocrisy of it. And look how many Mac themes are voted up high.

Let people make their Linux look how they please. It doesn't change the inner workings of Linux.

Voted good.

 What's in a name?

I think your theme would be voted much higher if you didn't have Windows Vista in the name. Honestly, I don't think it looks anything like Vista, except MAYBE the panels and the scrollbars. Other than that, I see no resemblance.

I do like the idea of the menus being framed. It's unusual and it's fairly good-looking. The only thing that bugs me is the button shape. They look too angular for the rest of the theme.

Good start though. keep it up!
