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.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By Paul1979UK · Posted

      It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.

      That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..

      It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
