Marwaita Theme for XFCE gives a fresh Win11 look

There have been a lot of Linux distros hoping to attract Windows 10 users who are unable to upgrade to Windows 11. I have tried dozens of distros over the last couple months. I've found nothing is better than the XFCE desktop. XFCE offers the perfect blend of functionality, clean workflow, and pleasing appearance. I'm using Mint XFCE currently. This was determined after trying Gnome, Mate, LQXT, Deepin, Cosmic, and KDE desktops.

So today I gave the Marwaita XFCE Theme a try and it goes a long way in giving your XFCE desktop a fresh Windows 11 look. For those looking to make the switch from Windows 10 to Linux Mint XFCE, this looks very familiar. There are two versions of the the Marwaita Theme light and dark (Alt). Below are links to get it and my own screen shots. Enjoy.
