Although many Linux users would have you believe that Linux is the greatest operating system ever, most of its variants are pretty ugly to look at.  Ubuntu 9.04 users however, may be able to hide this ugliness by downloading the free Vistar7 Transformation Pack for Ubuntu 9.04, which will make Ubuntu look and feel a bit like Windows 7.

Features:

  • Vistar7 color scheme (public domain)
  • Vistar7 plasma theme, based on Glassified (GPL)
  • Redmond Vista – Normal deKorator theme (unknown)
  • Win7 Icon theme (proprietary/unknown)
  • Aero mouse theme (proprietary)
  • Windows 7 like splash screen (proprietary)
  • All Windows 7 sound themes (proprietary)
  • Windows 7 wallpapers, including beta wallpapers (proprietary)
  • Segoe UI, Calibri and Cambri fonts from Microsoft (proprietary)

  • Looks awesome. Pitty it's not for gnome.
  • I prefer Windows (Vista SP1) but there's something to be said for an OS that can be modified so heavily (and still has the most secure set-up).

    You need to learn the difference between an operating system and the windowing environment. The looks of the desktop do not a good operating system make.

    I downloaded this and I install half the stuff....

    The Icons... The Cursors... The Fonts.

    But I don't know how to do the Theme and to show those thumbnails and gather all the windows into one thumbnail at the taskbar... How do I do this?? and the "install.sh"
    How do I use that??

    Dear Everton, it isn't for Linux Ubuntu, but Kubuntu. Be sure please that Kubuntu doesn't look ugly and try to search something about KDE4.3.... e.g. http://www.kde.org/ May be you will be surprised that exist nice thing without the Microsoft trademark. Thanks

    I don't understand why you say linux looks ugly? do you mean that linux is very very easily customizable but I have no imagination so there for my installation is not as flashy as I would like . . . .
    although tbh I think the standard ubuntu install is pretty pleasing on the eye!

    ubuntu is greate :) i like it :) its not simple OS, but i like feeling that i learn something new every day :)

    Ubuntu is amazing, I really don't understand why you say that is ugly, not for nothing many windows special effects are copied from the "ugly ubuntu", strange. Sure is more complicated, but like eden say "at least we learn something".
    Strange thing is that I've found many "windows" users and they are searching a ubuntu alike pack to change the windows style...
    strage.... very strange...
    Don't say windows is better... JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO USE LINUX.
  • :-) so this theme is 4 those anti-patriots of windows who go 4 ubuntu but later regret it. i guess they should be hanged and not given this theme.
  • Looks good, i think this is what ubuntu need i.e. a decent theme.
