Ideas for the Xubuntu desktop (Was: [TEAM] Gathering "testimonials" for marketing purposes)

[Benoit THIBAUD]

Have you tried the XFCE panel switch in the setting manager ?

It's not a whole answer to your request but it's here in Xubuntu. The 
looking is also a theme. Perhaps a windows flavor for example the last 
one (windows10 for example) and the last Mac OS should be added in the 
default themes list in appearance.
