I was unhappy with the various XFCE/GTK2/GTK3 Windows 95 based themes and decided to make one that was more consistent across the board for theming.

Included in this theme:

* Icons to complete the icon theme started with Classic95
* GTK2 and GTK3 themes
* Edited Redmond XFWM theme to more accurately reflect Windows 95
* Chicago95 Plus! A tool to preview and install Windows 95/98/ME/XP themes
* Plymouth theme created from scratch
* An MS-DOS inspired theme for oh-my-zsh
* Partial support for HiDPI monitors
* Partial icon theme for LibreOffice 6+

Requirements:

* GTK+ 3.22 or 3.24
* Xfce 4.12, 4.14, 4.16
* gtk2-engines-pixbuf (Recommended for GTK2 applications)
* The xfce4-panel-profiles package
* A Window compositor

(If your are using an older desktop that uses GTK3.18, you can use [this forked version of the theme.](https://github.com/EMH-Mark-I/Chicago95-Custom-XUbuntu-16.04-))
