Chicago95

XFCE / Xubuntu Windows 95 Total Conversion

Click here for more screenshots

I was unhappy with the various XFCE/GTK2/GTK3 Windows 95 based themes and decided to make one that was more consistent across the board for theming.

Included in this theme:

• Icons to complete the icon theme started with Classic95
• GTK2 and GTK3 themes
• Edited Redmond XFWM theme to more accurately reflect Windows 95
• Chicago95 Plus! A tool to preview and install Windows 95/98/ME/XP themes
• Plymouth theme created from scratch
• An MS-DOS inspired theme for oh-my-zsh
• Partial support for HiDPI monitors
• Partial icon theme for LibreOffice 6+

Requirements:

• GTK+ 3.22 or 3.24
• Xfce 4.12, 4.14, 4.16
• gtk2-engines-pixbuf (Recommended for GTK2 applications)
• The xfce4-panel-profiles package
• A Window compositor

(If your are using an older desktop that uses GTK3.18, you can use this forked version of the theme.)
