How to make ubuntu 8.10 look like windows vista.

[stukpixel]

nevermind about gnomenu, I got it to work, but it was not too different from the normal gnome menu panel object.

I am still looking for a way to change its icon, as well as install a vista cursor theme pack.

stukpixel download the vista cursor theme from the guide I gave you is in there.

I did. Or rather, I tried.

Perhaps I'm doing it wrong, but aero-drop does not show up unders cursor option in customize. I have a wii cursor set installed to see if it was my method, but it works fine (switches between normal and wii for some reason).

how did you install it?

I copy-pasted it into the .icon folder. I want to appearance, themes, customize, cursors, and it was not there.

that's one way, open the appearance preference box make sure you have (Theme) selected and drag the cursor folder to the appearance Preference box to install it, it should work

[stukpixel]

failed. cannot move a directory over a directory.

[UbuntuNerd]

if that happened it means you didn't remove the cursor folder you paste in ".icon folder" from when you try installing it the first time. Try removing the folder and then install it by dragging it to the appearance box

it shows up, but in use, it only changes to the aero cursor when its on certain applications,for example firefox. Even then, it doesn't show the loading and it reverts to the old cursor,

EDIT: Apparently a reboot fixed that issue. Cursor pack works rather nicely. Now to find a vista svg orb to replace the gnome menu ubuntu svg...

I was going to suggest to log out and log back in sometimes that helps.
