I decided that the pop-overs were almost exactly as annoying/ugly as Clippy was in MS Office 97 so the buttons/coloring are matched to look exactly like that.
Copy the file `Extras/Chicago95.theme` to `~/.local/share/xfce4/terminal/colorschemes` (create the colorschemes folder if it doesn't exist: `mkdir .local/share/xfce4/terminal`).
Under preferences in xfce-term select 'Colors.' Under `Presets` you should see `Chicago 95`.
To get the MS-DOS `C:\>` prompt and startup message add the contents of `Extras/DOSrc` to your `.bashrc` file: `cat Extras/DOSrc >> ~/.bashrc`.
Copy the file `Extras/Chicago95.zsh-theme` to `~/.oh-my-zsh/themes` (if you have changed your `.oh-my-zsh` config location, put the theme in that folder). In your `.zshrc` change your theme to Chicago95.
This will add the MS-DOS prompt. You will get a C prompt by default. If the previous command had an exit code other than 0 you will get an F prompt. If you are in a git repository you will git a G prompt, followed by the branch (in yellow) and the status (clean in green, dirty in red).
To get the startup message, add the contents of `Extras/ZSHDOSrc` to your `.zshrc` file: `cat Extras/ZSHDOSrc >> ~/.zshrc`.
If you want a classic style start button for the Whisker Menu or Application-Menu plugins instead of it defaulting to only an icon without the button borders, there are a few steps required to set this up.
Note: Your panel has to be 32px high if you wish to have the classic style Start button. If it’s any other size, the button won’t look correct. You’re more than welcomed to make your own Start button.
This is a work around because I’ve been unable to find a more sane means of making something that should be so simple to work...
1. Go to the install directory of the theme, i.e.`~/.themes/Chicago95/gtk-2.0/` or `/usr/share/themes/Chicago95/gtk-2.0/.`
2. You will see a file named `panel.rc` and another one named `panel.rc.alt`. Rename `panel.rc` to `panel.rc.bak`. Then rename `panel.rc.alt` to `panel.rc`.
3. Open the properties menu of either Whisker Menu or Application Menu and change the icon. The Start Button is located in the following directory: `~/.themes/Chicago95/gtk-2.0/panel` or `/usr/share/themes/Chicago95/gtk-2.0/panel.` Select the file name `start-button_windows` or `start-button_tux.`
Copy the `pulseaudio_fix.css` file from the `Extras\gtk-3.0 Override` directory into `/home/$USER/.config/gtk-3.0/` (This will fix the oversized pulse audio button and battery icon in the panel.)
1. Panel 1. Horizontal, 32px high ONLY, and 100% Length. Currently no proper vertical panel support so below or above only. (Make sure you set the background style to "None" so that it inherits the theme style.)
7. Window Buttons (Sorting Order: Timestamp and Window Grouping is Always. Uncheck “Show Handle” if it’s enabled.);
8. Separator (Transparent with Expanding);
9. Separator (Handle Style);
10. Notification Area (19px max icon size);
11. PulseAudio Plugin (Uncheck mark "Show Notifications when volume changes." it will conflict with XFCE notifiyd by making duplicate volume notifications);
12. Separator (Transparent);
13. Orage Panel Clock. ( In settings, enable check box “Show frame” and replace the text in “Line 1” with %I:%M %p.)
Disable shadows in compositing for an authentic appearance, or at the very least disable “show shadows under dock windows” to prevent dark shading from the panel bar overlapping onto maximized applications.
For the icon theme, I made a small adjustment that replaces the MS Windows logos with tux penguins. You can install this if you want. To install it, copy the `Chicago95-tux` directory into “/home/$USER/.icons.”
To set the notification theme, open the system notification settings manager (xfce4-notifyd-config) and in the "Theme" option select Chicago95 in the pull down menu.
