Hey, nice and clean theme - me likes :woot:

If I was being nitpicky though:

1. lack of mouseovers (eg. min, max, close)

2. verdana (that's what it looks like)... I just think verdana = "font of cheese" :whistle:

Great work though :happy:

1) Well the min, max and close buttons behave exactly as in the original BlueCurve theme... so that isn't gonna change. Any other controls that lack mouseovers?

2) Hmmmm, well I can't find the original BlueCurve font, and this looked best with the theme in my opinion.

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 :)

Actually, I was just thinking of removing the box containing the arrow and simply having the arrow instead.... so that it is more subtle. Just my two cents though. You are doing a GREAT job on the theme so far btw. Also, I've found the place where you can change the toolbar text (the text in the taskbar when you have toolbars showing) from light blue to another color - I think someone else had mentioned this problem in another post - it's in the Values\Rebar\ section. Just change the TextColor in the subsections to a color you like. :)

No he mentioned the white text on the taskbarbuttons when the taskbar is on the left or on the right, instead of top or bottom. In that case the text is white instead of black like normal.

But thanks, I wanted to change the light blue color too!! Muchos gracias.

Vidar:  For a 1.0 skin, this is top notch work Schmoove. Between winamp, trillian, the iconpackager theme, a Mozilla theme I found, and your visual style.. BlueCurve has indeed hit XP

Any chance you can post the Mozilla theme you are using?

That my friend, is not a shellstyle. That is a hacked Shell32.dll, which is not the same as a shellstyle.

The shellstyle is the group of expandable taskgroups you get in the explorer, also called 'common tasks' sometimes.

So sue me - I was wrong. Christ, I'm gonna commit suicide.

I notice you're using the bluecuvce shellstyle yet don't offer a link to it?

After you've finished pointing out my weaknesses, maybe you'll link the appropriate shellstyle?

Soz dude - i r drunk. Your theme rox, and I shall continue to use it :p

Sorry if that sounded harsh.... was not my intention.

Anyways, there is no Shellstyle yet!! I still have to make it (but I'm working on it).

Also I don't use a Shell32.dll, I just use the IconPackager theme that I supplied in the download to change my icons.

So I can't link you to much can't I? :) Get IconPackager and use the IconPackager theme, that's all I can do.
