It is almost perfect!!? Theres only one thing...

The plain progress bar is nice but it isnt smooth like version 2.1.

Version 2.1 progress was bit by bit and version 3.0 is block by block.?:cry:y:

I dont know if you understand me.

I must have set some margins different then. I'll see if I can fix that for you.

Thanks Schmoove!!:laugh:h:

I haven't gone through this whole monster thread, so it's possible this is a repeat. The theme is really terrific, but it has the "thick scroll bars" bug in Mozilla Firebird that I've seen in some other themes. They're about twice as wide as every other application. Any chance you might release a bug fix that corrects this before you stop doing Bluecurve for a while? Thanks.

Well twice as wide isn't true, but yes they are a bit wider.... I wish I could fix that... but frankly I don't know how.

Excellent thanks for all the work you put into it! I hope to see you working on other Bluecurve related stuff for us. The new color schemes are nice...and the green worked nicely like I had suggested. I can't wait to see your next VS...keep up the great work.

Do you know any other theme developers that you could ask for help? I'm pretty sure this problem has been fixed in other themes, so somebody should know how to do it. I tried searching the forums to see if I could find any mention of this in previous threads, and this was as close as I came. I don't know if that's the problem or not, but it looks like gigatexel and arhra are at least familiar with Firebird scrollbar weirdness.

nice update bro!

just wondering why on the active maximised caption, the minimise button isnt centred like the max and close buttons are, glyphys i guess, is it like it in redhat? and you are replication it or somethin else? probly only needs to be moved to the left a couple of pixels, kinda annoys me, but diddnt want to be picky with such a great theme!

Yes it needs to be moved a couple of pixels to the left. But the thing is that it's simply not possible. What I can do is making the 'fake' buttons smaller so it is centered better, but that would mean that the captionbar has to be thinner to make the buttons square again.... which would mean that the captionbar is going to be too thin so the glyph in the top left corner will be cut in half.... which looks like ****.

I'm sorry it's the best I can do. Consider that replicating BlueCurve 100% in msstyle is just not possible, msstyle has too many restrictions for that. This is the closest I can get.

I was looking at the real linux Bluecurve theme and noticed the bottom corners of the windows are curved like the top corners.? Anyway to do that in .msstyles Schmoove?

Yes and no. It is possible I, I tried it, but it didn't really behave like I expected. For some reason it cut of some pixels and shifted the images a little... which looked a little weird. But Maybe I got another solution... I'll try some things out and see what looks best.

EDIT: tried it out and no, the borders have a fixed size. I can't make them any thicker. Also giving it rounded corners looks weird, it shifts one or two pixels to the left which makes it look bad. So it stays how it is now.

Yes it would be possible... But it wouldnt be as nice as the real BlueCurve because of the msstyle limitations.

Here's the answer:

This is great, I've just tried it out and it seems very bug free. The marine makes for an incredible vs.

One bug I have found (in attachment): in applications that use the small min/max/close buttons the button shows up really wide. Things like foobar2000, dc++, miranda im, etc.

I've noticed that a few times too. Didn't think much of it though.

This is not really a bug actually.

This has to be done, because else in Photoshop the minimize button will fall into the blue part and will be hardly visible. It looks a bit akward in other programs maybe, but I don't think it is a big deal.

OK I see. Just wanted to call your attention to it in case you hadn't known.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
