although ubuntu is my os of choice, i have to use windows on a daily basis for work and school. i thought that it would be cool if i can make windows look like ubuntu, so i started searching. i came across the clearlooks theme by schmoove and tango patcher by vertigosity on deviantart.com. with these two “deviations” you can make any xp machine look like ubuntu, heres how:

download both files from the links above

extract each file to its own folder

place both folders into a folder on the c: drive

in the clearlooks folder, double click the clearlooks.msstyles file to install the theme

in the tango patcher folder, double click .exe file to begin the installation. choose tango and/or tangerine themes and take the defaults for the rest.

reboot

after your computer reboots, install the human theme for firefox to complete the transformation. :)
