Some basic instructions for using this package from the packager's perspective:

Xfce Settings
  • Appearance -> Style: set either Windows XP, Windows Classic or Professional; make sure the switch "Set matching Xfwm4 theme..." is enabled
  • Appearance -> Icons: set Luna
  • Appearance -> Fonts: set Tahoma Regular for Default and Lucida Console Regular for Monospace
  • Windows Manager -> Style tab: set same as for Appearance (if not changed already)
  • Mouse and Touchpad -> Theme: set Windows XP Standard (or with shadows)
  • Settings Editor -> xsettings -> change entry SoundThemeName to "Windows XP Default"
Login greeter:
  • In LightDM config file (/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf) uncomment and set option "greeter-session=wintc-logonui"
Win XP tasbar:
  • [! ! !] Note it's not a panel theme but a separate executable
  • If you want to use it along Xfce panels just add Xfce Settings -> Session and Startup -> Application Autostart entry with command "wintc-taskband", set trigger to "on login"
  • If you want to disable panel you can uninstall it or there's a trick:
    • Login again, ensure Win XP taskbar shows up
    • Go to Xfce Settings -> Session and Startup -> Currect Session
    • Select "xfce4-panel" and Quit Program, after that click Save Session
    • Also the "Automatically save session on logout" in General tab should be disabled
    • Panel state will be preserved unless you override the session
Applications

This package contains some applications like Explorer and Notepad that can be just open from application list. You can check what is added in package file list after installing.

@Lili1228 Thanks for report. Just fixed in AUR. Also reported this in the upstream.

/usr/bin/notepad conflicts with wine and wine-staging

@MartinX3 Ah, yes. The upstream build script is targeting Arch by checking /etc/os-release.

I've just updated script again to workaround that - it should always see Arch. Please check again now (with clean build). I'm going to notify the project author about this issue.

Thank you. Now I get the next error.

Failed to identify distribution.

I'm using endeavourOS. It's Arch Linux + an EOS repo and a xfce theme preinstalled. (So it isn't a fork like Manjaro)

@MartinX3 I've just updated the package and checked it works with yay and paru. Please try now. If you get an error try cleaning cache first (/tmp/user/.cache/paru).

Error:
