I will be speaking at the Youth for IT Congress in the Philippines tomorrow to present various operating systems, including Linux. However, since majority of the audience are familiar with Windows so I planned on presenting Ubuntu but looking like Windows.

In a hurry, I quickly stumbled upon XpGnome, a one click script that automatically changes your theme to look like Windows XP. Cool, huh? Unfortunately, however, there is no undo script to revert it back. Luckily, my Ubuntu runs on VMWare so the original file was left untouched – all I need to do is to delete the scripted XP theme.
