How can I make ubuntu14 desktop like win 7












0















I have Ubuntu 14 running in vmware but I want to make the desktop look like Windows 7. I tried



sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop


but when logged out I can't see xfce session.



I also tried



sudo add-apt-repository ppa:upubuntu-com/gtk3 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install win2-7
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences theme 'Win2-7-theme'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'menu:minimize,maximize,close'


to no avail.
