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-))

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://book.konstantinsecurity.com/readme/art/xfce-xubuntu-windows-95.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
