This theme is faithful to the one from Windows Vista (or is it 7?). And believe it or not, but some people find it pleasant enough to use it on Linux.
I think the reason why some people invest time and effort in making GNOME/KDE/XFCE/whatever look like Windows is because old habits die hard. Most people are used to Windows and the main reason why they won't change is because they feel Linux is too different from what they know. By giving them a familiar environment - up to the desktop theme - one can hope that more and more of those people will give Linux a try. And, hopefully, see how better it is than Windows - just like we do!

I'm surprised that you would even tarnish Linux by copying that Booger-schitt and calling it Linux.
You have lots of talent. Let's see what you can do for Linux.

I installed emerald onto fedora7 by doing "yum install emerald" (beryl was installed as a dependency.
However, when I go to the emerald theme manager, import the vista theme and then select it, nothing happens. How do I activate the theme?
Any help would be appreciated,
Paul

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what window manager I am using. You mention you are using Compiz. I have compiz installed (yum install compiz, stated so), but I don't know if I'm using it. I use whichever window manager is default for gnome on fedora7.
how would I change my window manager? I've tried googling for this, with not much luck!
You mentioned creating a utube video; that would be great, I'm sure i'm not the only person having this problem,
Thanks again,
Paul.

person2, 3, 4: Shut up.
rinse, repeat.
I myself like the Vista theme. And the OSX theme. I use the OSX one in XP...
I'll try this theme and see if it's better than the Vista emerald theme I'm using right now.
Good work. It's not that I think Linux should be more like Windows, but it should be able to.
"I bought Vista 'cause it looked perty." "Bah. I use the same theme in Linux. How 'bout that BSOD? That look 'perty' too?"
Kinda why I want a flip3d extension for beryl...
