   9 **Current state** (2013-12-23): builds, boots. Quite some things are
  10 broken, and many minor features had to be disabled to workaround
  11 build issues.

  18 Windows Camouflage
  19 ------------------
  20
  21 **Ticket**: [[!tails_ticket 6342]]
  22
  23 We need to implement the Windows Camouflage mode in GNOME3 "Classic"
  24 (aka. fallback) mode.

  26 ### Windows XP
  27
  28 i.e. porting the 1.0 theme
  29
  30 #### Left to do
  31
  32 * Metacity theme, mouse cursor theme and desktop background: should be
  33   set correctly in `/usr/local/bin/tails-activate-winxp-theme`, but
  34   isn't actually applied; perhaps changing GSettings in
  35   `PostLogin.default` isn't supported? We should try migrating this
  36   code from `PostLogin.default` to a script started from
  37   `~/.config/autostart/` and see if this works better; might be
  38   applied too late, though.
  39 * GTK2 theme
  40 * GTK3 theme
  41 * icons theme
  42 * only one GNOME panel
  43 * many, many more settings set in the script
  44   (`/usr/local/bin/tails-activate-winxp-theme`) that enables all this
  45   when the user has enabled Windows Camouflage in the Greeter
  46
  47 #### Resources
  48
  49 * The [Luna XP theme](http://winxp4life.tk/index.php#linux) we ship in
  50   Tails/Squeeze only supports GTK2, *but* upstream have ported it to
  51   GTK3 and MATE since then.
  52 * Ubuntu's GNOME Classic is not that far from a good old GNOME2 DE:
  53   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseGnomeClassicTweaks
  54 * The default theme (`/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-3.0/`) can be
  55   forked and customized.
  56 * GTK3 Windows-like themes seem to be
  57   [in the works](http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2012/03/27/moar-windows-themes/),
  58   and <http://gnome-look.org/> has a few ones.
  59 * some [customization tips](http://askubuntu.com/questions/69576/how-to-customize-the-gnome-classic-panel)
