No. 1,2,3 - the color does not match. The original Windows XP “Luna” theme has shades of blue, and you have light gray everywhere.
Circled in green. The “Start” button (in Russian - “Pusk”) - in the original theme it is green, dimensions - height - 30 pixels, length - 107 pixels. If necessary, I can send images in png format of the right size.
Circled in red. The icon, when you click on it, you get to the window with the buttons for rebooting, shutting down, sleeping and changing users - you have it green with white arrows, but should be red, as in the original theme.

The “Start” button (in Russian - “Pusk”) - in the original theme it is green, dimensions - height - 30 pixels, length - 107 pixels. When you hover over the cursor from dark blue, it becomes light blue. Must be green.
In the theme “Redmond97” (the theme for Windows 98), the theme developer has made the appearance settings of the “Start” button into a separate file called whisker-menu.css. In the gtk.css file, it is loaded through the following command: “@import url (" whisker-menu.css "); ".
Download, look, maybe something will come in handy from what he applied for his topic.

Discrepancy of appearance of tray. It is possible that it will be more precisely called Taskbar Notification Area or System tray. In your theme, tray, like the entire panel, is dark blue. When you hover over any indicator, its background takes on a color of light blue, while the strips of dark blue remain above and below. In the original “Luna” theme, all indicators (prome of the keyboard layout indicator) in the tray are located against a light blue background, as in the image, and when you hover over them, only a message (tooltip) pops up, the indicator does not stand out anymore. The keyboard layout indicator remains on a dark blue background, when you hover over it, it is highlighted in the form of a square of the same color protruding above the surface of the panel (maybe I didn’t put it that way, so I’ll apologize for a possible misunderstanding. If that, pay attention to what the “Start” button looks like in the topic “Redmond97).

Well I will wait. You should take your time, it is better to wait extra time, thoughtfully working on it, and get a good product at the end, than to constantly refine it later.

I tried experimenting with some things yesterday, I think it looks much better than now.

I'll post an update in the coming days

fab8b02 adds Whisker-specific theme rules:

Xubuntu 20 04 beta-2020-11-11-22-11-39

note also that the menu button looks like the original. For more spacing on the right, right-click the menu button > properties > panel button and add some spaces after the "Start" text, so it looks like this:

Xubuntu 20 04 beta-2020-11-11-22-13-36

Just the right panel portion remaining, but couldn't get it ready this time
