First, thanks for the theme :)

I have some problems:

  1. Background color of start menu icon wrong when menu is open and closed Fixed

  2. Background color of system tray icons wrong Fixed

  3. Background color of date/time icon wrong Fixed

  4. The color of the text of desktop icons is wrong Fixed

  5. Strange text shadow on systray icons Fixed

  6. Title bar of most apps is not changed Fixed

  7. The background color of the pinned apps is wrong.
    Here how it look now:
    win7-theme
    Compared to default theme:
    xubuntu-theme

  8. There are also strange vertical white bars near the notification icon.

will have a look at this when I have time, possibly in two weeks. Sorry for the delay

Ok, thanks :)

menu background is feasible but impractical at the moment. Menu button can be manually changed

Background of system tray icons wrong
Background of date/time icon wrong

have been fixed.

Thanks for the fixes, with "menu background" I was meaning the background color of the menu icon that is now fixed but now that you say it also the background of the entire menu need to be fixed but I think it is the less important thing.

About the menu button, in the screenschot here it appears to be changed, isn't possible to do it automatically with maybe the icon theme?

PS: The icon text on the desktop is black but it should be white with black shadow.

How you can see it is mostly ok but the background color of the pinned apps is wrong.

noted.

Also if possible it would be nice if the pinned apps are positioned near the start menu and not near date/time.

that"s the panel's layout and has to be manually edited. Themes can't change that

There are also strange vertical white bars near the notification icon.

It seems to be a necessary compromise for a transparent panel, but I'll try exploring other solutions

Also:

The color of the text of desktop icons is wrong

GTK loads the incorrect value for desktop labels color. Hotfix is to replace

@define-color theme_selected_fg_color #000000;

with

@define-color theme_selected_fg_color #FFFFFF;

in gtk.css

Title bar of most apps (also the file manager) is not changed

Window decorations are changed in Window manager settings. But there's no xfwm4 theme. Yet.

Shell buttons and bar wrong

that's how it is, thunar doesn't have the same layout as Windows Explorer ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The menu issue is on the todo list, possibly fixed today

It doesn't need to be exactly equal but why the back, forward, up and the refresh buttons aren't changed like in Windows 7?
Still Thunar is the one most similar to Windows 7 by looking here: https://wiki.ubuntu-it.org/AmbienteGrafico/FileManager

About the desktop labels color I will try.

It doesn't need to be exactly equal but why the back, forward, up and the refresh buttons aren't changed like in Windows 7?

because I haven't bothered implementing it. It's technically possible, but IMO it's not worth to develop a feature for one single program.

also, last time I checked, the icon theme was supposed to have special icons for back, forward and up buttons.

but if I find time, I can try to make something similar to the original

found a correction for the desktop text color, fix coming in the following weeks

should be fixed

@Elbullazul

Thanks, the situation improved but there are still some problems:

  • When a desktop icon is selected the icon become completely black
  • Maximize/Minimize/Close buttons aren't themed on Thunar and some other places (although there are also places where it works)

When a desktop icon is selected the icon become completely black

I think it's because the "selected view item" has a gradient as background, but it can't be rendered in this case. I'll see if adding a backgound color anyways fixes this


 Maximize/Minimize/Close buttons aren't themed

You have to change that theme manually in settings > Window manager settings > theme

By selecting Kokodi theme in these settings it look more similar, but how to get "Windows-7" theme in this list?

oh, I forgot this theme doesn't have a xfwm4 theme yet. Added to the todo list

I appreciate your works, thanks.

added text shadow, added Xfwm4 theme. Unfortunately, couldn't find the cause of the black icons

  1. Also another issue:
    win7-theme-icon-menu

Fixed in 5953623:

Thanks, most problems are fixed.
Regarding icon selection, inside a normal folder it looks fine:
Folder-selection
But on the desktop is bugged:
Desktop-selection

e67eaa8 fixes this.

Remaining issues:

  • The background color of the pinned apps is darker
  • Vertical white lines around some panel buttons

d8a456e fixes the launchers

4a06836 fixes the gaps around panel buttons. Couldn't manage to add in the missing shadows unfortunately, but I hope it's fixable in Xfce's next release.
