XPde Makes X11 Resemble Windows

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nice-for-the-beginners dept.

Gentu writes "Here is another way of penetrating the Windows market, which might even prove more successful than the current efforts: XPde is a desktop environment that mimics the Windows 2000 look and feel and behavior. Currently on version 0.3, the team has re-created a number of applications from its Windows equivalents, including Explorer." T. cuts in: It looks like they've made a lot of progress since this project was last mentioned.

    The whole point of your post was to say how downhill XP went after 2k? What does that have to do with this article?

    There's this neat feature in XP. You go to Display Properties and switch the Visual Style to classic mode.

    Wow, looks like your dillemna was solved.
