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.

Another thought: I was looking at Zorin OS. They have a few desktop
configurations (XP, 7, 2000, Mac OS).
Something like that would be cool. (Not mimicking Windows that
tightly, but, making what's available in other distros available in
Xubuntu -- with a click?).
Again, I was focusing on the word "marketing" and "testimonial." I was
thinking a broader user base is being sought, more testimonials,
popularity, etc. I'm sure people like Xubuntu the way it is (or it
wouldn't exist at all). But, I see these other flavors and (to me)
they seem "updated," more responsive to what I would think "most
people" would like.
So, I was trying to get at that. Whether that box is ever re-opened
and things that are accepted as "this is Xubuntu" are reconsidered.
Jack's response implied an either/or choice (and that the box isn't
subject to being re-opened).
Zorin's approach might be a neat way to reach more people without
disturbing those who like how Xubuntu is. If I knew how to do it, I'd
do it. I have a lot of free time. But, creating different desktop
versions like that is beyond me.
It just seems like a shame that to get something more
modern/intuitive, a person has to give up the larger ubuntuforums
community support (and go with Mint). That's an either/or choice too.
I think it's unfortunate. That's all I'm saying. I'd like to see
Xubuntu reach a broader audience, make MintX less of a competitor.
(It's already less due to the smaller community. But, it appeals to
people for *some* reason. If it's all just configuration/design, it
wouldn't seem hard to *do* and create that path for those users. More
testimonials... more marketing?).
