Made this rice of Cinnamon on Arch. Think I did a pretty good job, but it still doesn't feel quite right. Was going to have a Peggle window open (as one naturally does) for the screenshot but I couldn't get it to launch inside Virtualbox .

Surprisingly, it was getting the terminal font installed that was the most difficult. Mint Terminal just did not want to detect the terminal font for some reason.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. I want to turn this into the ultimate Peggling machine.

Could you share the configs/dotfiles to a public Git repo somewhere?

I don't think there would be much point in creating a Git repo since this is pretty much a combination of what other people have made. I'll share links though.

XP Theme- https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1230964/
XP Icons - https://www.opendesktop.org/p/1158349/
Terminal font - https://www.dafont.com/windows-command-prompt.font

Wine comes with it's own version of Tahoma (which the theme automatically selects if it's installed) but if you want the *real* Tahoma I found a GitHub repo that hosts all of the Windows 10 fonts, which includes Tahoma: https://github.com/tazihad/win10-fonts/

When I first joined the Linux community, I was really excited at the possibility of theming my DE to look like my favourite Windows interfaces. How disappointed I was.
I used to theme my Windows 10 and tried *everything* to make it look like W7 (which I still think has a nice UI) but I never got far. I always found some Uncanny Valley that I was never happy with.

I now use a tiling window manager, so the issue is fixed by virtue of elimination.
