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.

    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      That's not clickbait. Clickbait is headlines like, "You'll never guess what this person looks like now" for example. For goodness sake, take a look around the internet if you think this is clickbait. How do sites survive if people don't click through to articles? How many people in all honesty would have clicked this if it had your suggested headline? You and those upvoting your post won't be happy until the web is a couple of hundred websites all behind a paywall.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By Defiantly · Posted

      Maybe I missed it, but does this say anywhere that the game save bug has been squashed? I haven't encountered it myself, but it would be nice to know I'm good to go. Anyway, amazingly well done game. Mostly more of the same. ...but when the same is best in class with improved graphics and features, then a win.

      Well when your game flops, you should expect this. If I do bad at work, I would expect a layoff. Less than 1600 people played it on steam. https://steamdb.info/app/1934570/charts/
