i mean the guy wud hv worked so hard to make this theme and it almost looks replica of windows xp
and wtf is all this 'representatives of open source'
should not make such themes u guys are pure losers
and shud get out of ur house and get a gf
anyways i wud be very much happy if u ported it to kde4
and if people donot see the good part of windows and their presentation and criticize them blindly then nothing cud happen to linux im not saying that windows is better infact linux beats 'em easily but think about it:to install a widget style bespin u hv to compile it manually.
are u sure that non-geeks wud evr try that?
i heard some guy saying that bsd is better than windows.maybe it is in some aspects but windows is like 10x more usable than that.
if we hv to improve linux we hv to be a critic of linux not windows.yes in a no of aspects it sucks still they hv made computers usable for normal users.
and in the end i praise u for ur wonderful ability.
if some themes hv to stopped they are the mac like themes lol there like 100 mac like themes on kde look and some even beat the original one!

2 - make a KDE look with the worst look of windows is kind of bizarre idea. I even never used this look under XP when I used it.
3 - no way to install this theme.
=> please change your mind !

"Incognito" is a Live CD Linux distribution based on Gentoo and KDE that uses TOR, an anonymizer that allows you to bypass firewalls and censorship. It is a very useful tool in repressive political regimes (think Iran).
An XP theme could be useful to keep a low profile in those cases.

1. there is no theme file in the tar file.
2. I've followed few previous comments, which didn't help.
3. I executed those 3 install-*.sh files.
nothing worked.
Why do people make things this confusing? Just to install a simple theme, I've to search the previous comments, do the googling and even if that fails, register in this site and post a query. Disgusting!!!
@Author:
You've invested your lot of time and made such a a beautiful theme. We are thankful to you. But, can't you spend little more time, and write few instructions here on this webpage or in install.txt in the theme?

But what it tries to be is bad.
It looks just like winXP, but I don't know why someone would want that. WinXP is ugly imo. Except for the media center edition. That version looks awesome. It would be a hard time choosing between different themes if media edition would be available. Oh, And of course vista is also beautiful. But most windows versions are ugly and all of them suck.

I run the installer from the new version (in the /usr directory) and after restarting the control center, the differents elements were in the lists.
As told before, I had to select the IceWM as windows decoration and select kde_xp in the list below.
Thank you for this great theme.
It is impressive.
I never used a windows so fast and reactive :-D

to use this good theme, you only have to generate some folder:
/usr/share --> Folder apps/
then copy the folder copy the extracted tar to folder usr/share/apps and rename it to kbfx :-)
Now you can choose it from the list in Controllmenue from KDE

I downloaded the tarballs but again things seemed to be missing.
I have had to manually add all relevant items myself, but i am now stuck on how to change the kde panel. I am running Mandriva 2006.
I was hoping you could give me some pointers on how to change the panel / start button.
Thanks
Dave.
