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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
