Chicago95 Theme for XFCE Linux Updated with GUI Installers

i made a better theme in openshell   you might need to make this version of the startmenu  the one thats there now looks horrible that ugly startmenu needs to be fixed.
I never thought the day would come when linux needed classicshell/openshell

Considering the sources for the GTK and Xfwm themes are open source, if you believe you can do better, go at it - as we often say, "Patches welcome". [Note: I am *not* the developer of this theme - more so a proponent of the "DIY" approach]. Something like "easier said than done" springs to mind.
Apart from that, looks are highly subjective - what you think is 'good looking' may be butt ugly from my point of view. Or it may not be. But I digress.

I do have a feeling you're not quite familiar with Linux-based operating systems, though. There isn't only one graphical environment under these systems - if you don't like one desktop environment, change it out for another. And besides, Classic Shell is an extension for Windows Explorer - how would that work on a Linux-based system, exactly?

Perhaps because people like it the way it is now? As I said, looks are subjective. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."
If it doesn't fit your [here I mean *you* specifically, powerplayer] liking, then you're free to change it until it does suit *your* preferences - the sources for the entire thing are freely available, after all.

I never said it was easy - I merely said it is possible to do so. At least GTK themes use CSS to style elements nowadays. Writing Qt widget styles used to be a lot harder than even GTK styles.
Also, it would be nice if you used some form of punctuation and/or paragraphing, it's hard to read what message you're trying to convey if your entire post looks like one long, uninterrupted sentence.

Anyway, there isn't merely *one* desktop environment under *NIX. And then it also depends on each distribution's defaults. I use Arch Linux, which ships most software unmodified (i.e. it's just directly compiled upstream software). Xfce by default has a classic-style applications menu (i.e. it resembles the Windows 9x menu) - the distribution that Chicago95's creator used (I assume Xubuntu) uses the Whisker Menu (or they liked it and switched the classic-style menu out for it), which looks more like Vista's and 7's start menu. It's up to the end user to choose what they like to use. I could make my Xfce setup look like Windows 9x with a little bit of effort - it would never be a true carbon copy of 9x, but it would get me close enough.

The old Red Hat you speak of used to ship with GNOME 1.x and 2.x, if I'm not mistaken. GNOME 2.x was forked, and more or less lives on as MATE, which by default also ships with a classic applications menu. Unless you use Ubuntu MATE, which again also ships with a more Windows 7-ish application menu by default.
Then there's also LXDE (and, more recently, LXQt), which also employs a traditional desktop paradigm. KDE does too, but it has such a plethora of options, features and extensions/plugins, that you can make it into anything you like, really.

tl;dr: If you make a bit of an effort, you can get a 'true' classic desktop by picking the right environment with the right panel applets. There's enough to choose from, so eat your heart out.

>"you don't have search"
I don't have a 'search' tool installed because I do most of my file searches through locate and/or find (CLI). That would be less than one minute of work to add to the menu (installing catfish|$any_other_search_tool and adding a launcher to the menu, to be exact).

>"[you don't have] documents"
That could also be added in under one minute.

>"[you don't have] logout"
Except that I do? If it's about the fact that it's called 'Log Off' instead - that can also be changed in under one minute.

>"[you don't have] programs"
Adding that submenu would be a bit more work, though not un-doable.
Most of these things can be changed using a menu editor; the 'Programs' item possibly as well, though I'd have to look into that.

>"[it] looks like you slammed everything together in one place as quick as possible. Replicating the exact win95 style would take longer than that."
Yes, that is exactly what I did. And I quote:
It was a proof of concept, to show that it's possible to fairly swiftly get a Windows 9x-style desktop. I never claimed it was a full-on carbon copy - in fact, I stated multiple times that that is not possible to achieve, not to a full 100% anyway. The emphasis lies on "style". Selective reading much?

>"If i know my linux well it will be impossible to do without taking apart the whole thing reinventing the wheel again and then everybody must use the fork to get same effect."
Allow me to be so bold as to claim you do not know your Linux well, then. As I mentioned multiples times, this is merely *one* (1) of the plethora of desktop environments that can be installed on a *NIX system - my example was done using only this *one* (1) desktop environment. Other environments may achieve either better or worse results - as always, YMMV.

I have a certain feeling that this discussion is going to continue ad infinitum insanitumque.

Ok but it will screw up at the caption bar right?

What exactly do you mean by 'caption bar'? The window title bar? And if so, screw up in what way, exactly?

Ah, the one in the Whisker Menu. I figure you would have to replace the image in the theme's assets if you wanted to change that. I don't see how it's screwed-up looking, though - could you clarify in a bit more detail what you mean by that?

P.S. Now I also get what you meant by "1. No caption" in your reply to my screenshot. I don't think that can be added to the classic menu (i.e. the one I use).
