[vs] BlueCurve 3.7

[King Trode]

YES YES YES! I love you!

hey Schmoove,

on all the redhat 9 screenshots ive seen the title bar text is left aligned, maybe try it with the theme and see how it looks?

also i suppose you dont know what the actual redhat 9 font is? the one in the theme differs slightly i *think*

anywah really looking forward to update :D

[Schmoove]

Yes the font is different... mainly because I can't find the real font and I thought this looked fine too.

Also I choose not to align the text to the left, because in normal windows this looks fine, but in windows without an icon in the topleft corner it would overlap the gray box where the icon should have been. This just look ugly so I choose to align the captiontext in the middle.

Like I mentioned beforel, a 1:1 copy is impossible, so you have to make some tradeoffs, this is one of them. I'm trying to stay close to BlueCurve, but if it looks ugly to me, I'll change it the way I like it.

[Schmoove]

Updated, check the 1st page

[dog star riot]

Schmoove i think this may be the font used in redhat,

not 100% sure though

winrar is needed to open this file

http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ttf...era-1.10.tar.gz

Could someone explain what the shellstyle does?

[Iguana]

@Draaku: It's a file that changes much of Windows appearance. If you're new to replacing shellstyle files, be careful.

my computer, tools on bar, folder options,

turn on show common tasks in folder,

check the skinned options menu on the left of each window ;)

@ Iguana

thats a shell32.dll not a shellstyle file :p

[Draaku]

@dog....would you place a screen shot up? I have the settings in place that you said

its this bit,

only really needs skinned cause the default windows one looks fugly.

;)

[Draaku]

How did you change the "view system information" and the "add or remove programs"?

Mine are not changed? and i am using the icon package that came with it.

Also: Does anyone have high quality .PNG icons from Redhat 9.0? to be used in Mobydock

I've tried it, and it's ok, but not really it. As long as I can't find the real font it is just gonna stay at Tahoma 8. As I think that looks good.

But if you think that font looks better you can always edit your copy for personal use ofcourse.

Schmoove, you need to update the 3 links to Bluecurve on your first post on the first page. They still link to Bluecurve 1.1 The only place I could get version 2 was your website.

BTW, Very nice job.

[klop]

Really nice work!! :woot:

It is simply the best Visual style Ive ever seen!

[devilotX]

Maybe I am doing something wrong but... How do I use the Shellstyle?

I deleted the previous versions of Bluecurve, installed and loaded it, didn't seem to change a thing?

[King Trode]

Maybe you downloaded one of the older versions on accident.

[mechandler34]

didn't think i'd like it, but it looks great! Thanks! :D

Oops, sorry, I've updated it now. The 2.0 version was on Deskmod by the way, but I forgot to update the direct link in the post.

The Getskinned.org mirror is still version 1.1..... couldn't figure out how to update the mod on that site (also I was in a rush so I didn't really had time to figure it out).

Anyways, it's updated, enjoy :)

[BroChaos Veteran]

didn't 1.1 just come out?

[Schmoove]

Yes, keep up with the pace :)

Well 1.1 lacked a shellstyle so I created that including some bugfixes and a cursors set... enough to release it and call it 2.0 I thought.
