Hello(
Since I'm an Average Debian Linux user, and a completly newbie to Ubuntu (Zorin OS 6 LTS) I was trying to change Zorin's Look as it's Windows 7 default look I went throught Change Desktop Background>and choose Ambiance theme, now it looks like an Ubuntu Windows 7, The Computer icon is Ubuntu's ... the start menu is Ubuntu not Z, anyway this isn't really a problem for me but I want to advice some friends of my to try Zorin and change their minds about Linux, so how do I get the complete WIndows 7 look? I already tried "Zorin OS look changer" and choose Windows XP and then Windows 7 but it's always Ubuntu "theme"
Thank you for your answers
