Memphis98 variant

Is there any chance to see a Memphis98 variant of this theme? The differences shouldn't be too huge; mostly with the gradients in the title bars and some graphics.

Sadly, the main hurdle is that xfwm4 doesn't support horizontal patterns like the 98-2K gradient; it would be possible with another WM, though.
I just made a [feature request] on the XFCE4 gitlab to see if this can change in the future.

Can you link that feature request here by chance, so people can track progress? TIA.

Sorry, but doesn't Redmond97 do this? (The horizontal gradient like is seen in win98&2k). I had thought that made use of XFCE4

Just beginning to look into this myself. Really want to get a Windows 2k look on my system. Sorry to just hurl a comment into here but a Memphis theme sure would be amazing.

::EDIT::
I actually finished some reading. Redmond doesn't use XFCE4 for the effect. Nevermind me.

To get the gradient titlebars shown in the screenshots you will need to use a window manager that supports metacity-1 themes such as marco. If you are using XFCE4 and want to use the metacity-1 themes you can run the following command to replace XFWM4 with marco. (You may need to install marco)
