Generally we call them Transformation Pack. Here are I am going to listing some of transformation pack that make you to have effect like Linux.

 

Ubuntu Transformation Pack by HYDRATTZ

 

Gnome Skin Pack 1.0

 

Ubuntu Skin Pack 8.0

 

But, before using them take backup of your system because I always have bad experiences of these type of modifications. I would suggest you test them on your virtual machine first. Those may also slow down your system.

 

If you want create your own you can take look at Skin Pack Installer System by hameddanger

WindowsFx from stardock have the same effect that you want but still it costs. You can try and if like then buy.

But, I am sure there may be free solution for to get these type of effects. Let me to find out or to do some experiment.
