I'm surprised that this distro's headline is "The Windows 7 experience on Linux" even though it's using a vague Windows-style XFCE theme.
If someone's interested in a real Windows 7 lookalike, take a look at https://gitgud.io/aeroshell/atp/aerothemeplasma, it's extremely close.
See for yourself:

AeroShell seems to only have full support on X11. Didn't expect this argument to come up again

As Microsoft has expressed, Aero is "cheesy."
Despite nostalgia, it was stripped in pursuit of a mobile-friendly UI (at the time).
'...calling the UI that debuted in Vista and continued in Windows 7, “cheesy” and “dated.”'

All Windows UIs will die, on Microsoft's time, not the user community.

Is Windows 7 "retro" now? I personally still prefer the Windows Classic theme.
The logo looks like Firefox, Thunderbird, and a Charmander mixed together.

Which classic? 3.0? 3.5.1? 4.0/95? Win2k? I think 2k was top-tier.
