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.
