Hi there,
I'm a newby in Zorin OS
Until today I used Ubuntu 14.04 on my notebook but I would like to have a Linux OS with a Windows 7 themes.
Looking in Google I found Zorin and I installed Zorin-OS-12-Core-32-20161121 on my notebook.
It seems to work fine but I don't know how to do for having Windows 7 desktop and icons.
Is there any how to regarding my question?
Can anyone help me please?
Greatings and happy new year to everybody
Dario

Strictly speaking, no you can't really do that anymore, in part because GnoMenu that became modified as ZorinMenu used a different DE to the current one - last used in Zorin 11, and AWN (Avant Window Navigator) - the panel that ran at the bottom of the screen is also a 'dead' project. If you are looking for a close Windows theming, including icons etc, give MakuluLinux Lindoz 12 Beta a run for its money:
