ummm...that's a given considering the fact that bluecurve is the name of the main style in redhat LINUX...

i think that even though os x looks great, it just feels and looks so dumb on a pc... linux looks awesome and i'm glad schmoove did a great representation of it for us windows users :)

edit: lol mallinanga... os x is built on unix...

Any chance of a thin taskbar version? I've become addicted to thin taskbars :whistle:

And a higher res icon packager theme? I have my icon size set to 64px and sadly that theme doesn't seem to have those.

Otherwise, incredible work, I made my own Bluecurve winamp skin a while back and since then I've really been wanting an msstyle to match.

:D

Ok, I already thought this would come.... so sure, I will make a thin taskbar version.

Shellstyle will also be made, but apparently you can't do it with StyleBuilder.... so I gotta use ResourceHacker for that. Might take some time.

Tonight (approx. 9 hours from now) I will update the style with version 1.1. It will be a small update, but it fixes some annoying bugs and I think it's worth an update.

And a higher res icon packager theme? I have my icon size set to 64px and sadly that theme doesn't seem to have those.

Well I don't have higher resolution icons at the moment, so no I can't make them. But I saw that Red Hat 9 has its icons in PNG format.... so I will take a look if these are bigger then 48x48, if so, I will convert them and make a new iconset.

YES! i didn't want to ask about the thin taskbar cuz you said you wouldn't do something else since it wouldn't represent the true bluecurve... but thank you! i know it's only a few pixels, but after using it for soooo long, normal taskbar just looks too big. now this will be my favorite theme ;) (the normal taskbar was holding it back from that position)

wonderful theme! i've been waiting for a good bluecurve theme for a looong time. only thing i'm not too fond of is how the arrow by the systray appears to be in a little box, but that's something i could probably modify for myself.

You mean the expand arrow that you get when you hide icons in the systemtray??

I could change that. So if you have a better suggestion you could draw me a picture and then I can change it if I like it. I must say it's not my favorite part of the theme :)

This is the first release of the BlueCurve theme, made by me ofcourse :)

Well this is what is inside the package:

- BlueCurve msstyle (made by me)

- BlueCurve wallpaper (the original ripped out of Red Hat 9, 1600x1200 only)

- BlueCurve IconPackager Theme (also made by me)

Report bugs in this thread please.

Well, have fun with it and let me know what you think of it.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
