Porting BlueCurve to Slackware 9.0

sardaukar_siet · 03-24-2003, 07:56 AM

Hi!

I'm an eye candy fanatic and I would like to know if it is possible to port the BlueCurve look to Slack 9.0 . It's just a matter of copying the icons, right? Or does it envolve patching some programs? Please let me know.

Thanks!

Just curious: what exactly is "Blue Curve"? :)

Cheers,
Tink

It's the "whole new desktop experience". Polished graphics, Mac OS X envy-causing stuff...

Yeh, that's gnome. Would it be possible for you to download bluecurve and just replace your X server?

No because bluecurve is a theme not an X server.

Find freecurve-artwork-blah-blah.i586.rpm, convert it to *.tgz and open it in 'mc'. Ignore KDE stuff and copy all other files in their respective directories.
You may also can take a look at art.gnome.org in addition.
