I've updated the Bluecurve skin that comes with Fedora to match the newer version of Bluecurve and also Schmooves excellent Visual Style (which you can download here). I've only updated the main window and playlist so far - I don't use the others, but if enough people are interested I'll mod them too.

I'll have to get permissions to release, but please let me know what you think!

Edit: I've now released the skin. You can download it here. Preview pic also updated.

Whew - Skin finished! I didn't realise how much work was involved - I've never skinned anything before. Anyway, checkout the first post for a new screenshot. As soon as I get permission from the original author I'll release it.

Hope you all like the finished article!

Hmm... no reply from the original author, Garrett LeSage, as of yet. I've never skinned anything before - what actually are the rules with obtaining permission? Is my skin different enough to be able to release it? Would it be ok if I released it and mentioned that Garrett is the original author in the readme?

I'd hate my work to go to waste - it took me ages!

I believe that if the original skin included with fedora is under gpl license(not sure if it is or not) that you can redistribute it as long as you include a copy of the gpl license with it. But it would be only right to mention the original author with credit and try to get permission(which you did).

Release ;)

I'm pretty sure so long as u've attempted to contact the author, and include credits saying that it is not your own work (well it is, but you know what I mean), that it would be ok to use. If the author doesnt reply to any emails, then its going to be pretty impossible to release isnt it...

Well it's been a week and still no reply so I've decided to post it. I think the real issue with gaining permission is taking credit for someone else's work - and all along I've said that this is a mod and I've given Garret credit for his work in the readme so it should be ok. I've also got the go ahead from Vidar who ported the original skin to Winamp.

Anyway, you can download it here.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
