This though, is a pretty well-known theme for the XFCE desktop
Even less than Cinnamon , manjaro xfce uses 2 gb ram while windows needs almost 6 for the same thing(browsing/office)

If thats the case, allow me to introduce you to xp-xfce-tc. It is a bit buggy, and a pain in the ass to setup, but it is great overall. It is focused on Xubuntu and Debian, although someone has got it running on Arch (the base distro of your Manjaro install).
Whats the best theme for a Windows XP era look?

I am working on making my PC into a Windows XP clone, using xfce-winxp-tc. Does anyone know a good theme make the latest Firefox release look like a browser from Windows XP? I do not mind whether it is Firefox from that time or Internet Explorer style.
