Do not do this. Linux and Windows are different. Making them look
alike can make those differences more painful. Keeping them looking
different can make those differences more expected. It is a visual sign
that "This is not Windows" and you conscientiously behave accordingly.
Set up a bunch of Linux kiosks once, the Windows looking ones got more
complaints than the standard Ubuntu theme.
