==== THE WIN2-7 PACK IS NOT UNDER DEVELOPMENT ====
Thank you for visiting the Official homepage of the Win2-7 pack!
=== Intro: ===
Even from its start in late 2009 as an Gnome Icon pack, the Win2-7 Packs goal has not changed...To be the most comprehensive, easily installable, customizable and most user friendly Windows 7 Transformation Pack on earth for the Gnome Desktop! :D We are amazed at how close we have come! Feel free to download and install it, make sure to vote if you like it and comment if you have anything to say and even donate a few bucks! But be sure to read the FAQ first before you install. We have put in hours and hours to make the Win2-7 pack do a very careful and safe installation and uninstallation, but none the less, use at your own risk and make a backup just as you would during any major update. Anyone involved in the Win2-7 Pack Team is not liable for any dataloss or damage that is the direct or indirect result of the Win2-7 Pack.
=== Quick FAQ: ===
Q: How do I install? A: Run GUIInstall.sh.
Q: How do I uninstall? A: Run GUIUninstall.sh.
Q: What languages are there? A: English , Danish and Croatian.
Q: Is it compatible with my system? A: Check the "Compatibility Chart" under Links.
Q: How can I extract it? A. Use "Extract Here" from the context menu or run "cat Win2-7Pack*.tar.lzma | lzma -d | tar x" at a terminal.
Q: When extracting I get: "This does not look like a tar archive"? A: Remove ".tar" from the end of the filename.
Q: I want to help translate? A: Send Dart00 a Private Message with your language and personal e-mail and experience.
Q: My Panel Menu does not look like the one in the Screenshot? A: Gnomenu must be installed (using Win2-7 Essentials or some other way) and added to the panel manually.
Q: It looks like it installed correctly but does not have any of the Microsoft logos, icons, sounds, cursor...etc. A: You did not install the Win2-7 Restricted Extras in the Win2-7 Essentials options.

Here are some interresting links :
First, the fork of Gnomenu working on Linux Mint 14 with Mate (not the deb but the tar.gz file)
https://launchpad.net/matenu
Second, the DockbarX PPA working for Mate :
https://launchpad.net/~dockbar-main/+archive/ppa
And last link, a tutorial to install Emerald for last Mint distro :
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=104232
So ! I think that Win2-7 Pack for which I made all the french translation and some Gnomenu french Themes could reborn and give to new Linux a nice look.
Please help me to update the pack.

Avant window navigator is a usable replacement for the gnome-panel (gtk2).This program doesn't conflict with gnome 3 sessions and you could run dockbarx and gnomenu inside it, without MATE components.That solution depends on old python and gtk2 components but not on the most gnome 2 parts.It would be about ~90 MB but not more. And perhaps an aditional ram usage of ~75 MB ( not much if you have 3 GB Ram) but less ram usage and faster than unity.(tested in qemu)
Usable themes are :
Ambiance w7 ( gnome-look.org ) blue 7 theme sourceforge net; Win2-7 Remix ( gnome-look.org);
Costubuntu ( gnome-look.org)
If someone has some more questions or like to write something to write an update for the pack please send me a message.

You could test to use my blue 7 theme , the avant window navigator some components of the MATE Desktop to run gnomenu and dockbarx inside it.As a window manager you could still use compiz, as session manager gnome-3-sesion.
I haven't found a gtk3 theme which looks closer to the win2-7 themes as the blue 7 theme jet.I am working on an alternative for newer ubuntu versions.
A Configuration like this is nearly stable, but really a bit slower than gnome 2.
