  • Bluecurve is a desktop theme for GNOME and KDE created by the Red Hat Artwork project. The main aim of Bluecurve was to create a consistent look throughout the Linux environment, and provide support for various Freedesktop.org desktop standards. It was used in Red Hat Linux in version 8 and 9, and in its successor OS, Fedora Linux through version 4. The Bluecurve window borders and GTK theme were replaced by those from Clearlooks (the former in Fedora Core 4, and the latter in Fedora Core 5). However, the old Bluecurve themes (windowing and widget) are still installed by default and can be selected in the theme manager. The Bluecurve icon set remains installed in Fedora 7, but has been replaced as the default by Echo. There has been controversy surrounding the theme, especially the alterations to KDE, which were sufficient to cause developer Bernhard Rosenkraenzer to quit Red Hat, "mostly in mutual agreement — I don't want to work on crippling KDE, and they don't want an employee who admits RHL 8.0's KDE is crippleware." Others simply criticize it for giving the same look to both desktops, even though they are obviously different in many ways. This approach was subsequently emulated by Mandrake Linux with their "Galaxy" theme, which was also available for GNOME and KDE, and in Kubuntu 6.06 with the GTK-Qt theme engine (enabled by default). Enterprising GUI artists have created themes that emulate the Bluecurve theme on other operating systems, including Microsoft Windows. Users can also replace their default Windows icons with icons that emulate Bluecurve, using the IconPackager application. One such set can be downloaded at WinCustomize. (en)
  • Bluecurve es un tema de escritorio para GNOME y KDE creado por el Proyecto Red Hat Artwork. El principal objetivo de Bluecurve era crear una apariencia uniforme del escritorio en el ambiente Linux. Ha sido usado en el Red Hat Linux desde la Versión 8.0, y en Fedora Core. Alrededor de Bluecurve ha existido controversia, especialmente las alteraciones al KDE, que fueron lo suficientemente severas para hacer que el desarrollador Bernhard Rosenkraenzer renunciara al proyecto. Otros simplemente critican el hecho de darle el mismo aspecto a ambos tipos de escritorio, aun cuando es obvia la diferencia entre ellos. (es)
  • Bluecurve is een thema voor GNOME en KDE gemaakt door het Red Hat Artwork-project. Het belangrijkste doel van Bluecurve was om een consistent uiterlijk te creëren in de Linuxomgeving en verschillende desktopnormen van freedesktop.org te ondersteunen. Het werd gebruikt in Red Hat Linux bij versie 8.0 (en enkele latere versies) en ook in Fedora Core tot en met versie 3. De Bluecurve-vensterranden en het GTK+-thema zijn vervangen door die van Clearlooks vanaf Fedora 4. De oude Bluecurve-thema's (venstersysteem en widgets) worden echter nog steeds standaard geïnstalleerd en kunnen worden geselecteerd in de thema-manager. De Bluecurve-icoonset blijft geïnstalleerd in Fedora 7, maar werd vervangen als de standaard door Echo. Er is controverse rond het thema, in het bijzonder de veranderingen in KDE, die voldoende ernstig waren als oorzaak voor ontwikkelaar om te stoppen bij Red Hat; "meestal in onderling overleg - ik wil niet werken aan verlammende KDE en dat zij niet een werknemer willen die toegeeft dat RHL 8.0's KDE crippleware is." Anderen bekritiseren het gewoon voor het geven van dezelfde look aan beide desktops, ook al zijn ze duidelijk verschillend op vele manieren. Deze aanpak werd vervolgens nagebootst door Mandrake Linux met hun "Galaxy"-thema, dat ook beschikbaar is voor GNOME en KDE, en in Kubuntu 6.06 met het GTK-Qt-thema engine (standaard ingeschakeld). Ondernemende GUI-artiesten hebben thema's gecreëerd die het Bluecurve-thema nabootsen op andere besturingssystemen, waaronder Windows. Gebruikers kunnen de standaard Windows-pictogrammen ook vervangen door Bluecurve-emulerende met behulp van de -toepassing. Een dergelijke set kan worden gedownload op . (nl)
  • Bluecurve è un tema grafico per i desktop GNOME e KDE creato dal Red Hat Artwork project. Lo scopo iniziale di Bluecurve era quello di creare un tema grafico che facesse risultare coerenti dal punto di vista visivo GNOME e KDE, i due più famosi desktop del tempo, e fornire supporto per vari standard di Freedesktop.org. È stato usato dai sistemi operativi Red Hat Linux (dalla versione 8.0) e Fedora Core. I bordi delle finestre grafiche di Bluecurve e i temi (widget) per le librerie grafiche GTK+ sono stati sostituiti con quelli di Clearlooks (prima in Fedora Core 4, poi in FC5). Tuttavia, i vecchi temi Bluecurve (Windowing system e widget per l'interfaccia grafica GUI) sono ancora installati di default e possono essere selezionati in Gestione tema (theme manager). Il set di icone Bluecurve rimane installato in Fedora 7, ma è stato sostituito come predefinito da Echo. Il tema ha suscitato delle polemiche, legate soprattutto alle alterazioni apportate a KDE, sufficientemente severe da portare lo sviluppatore ad abbandonare Red Hat "per lo più in comune accordo — Io non voglio lavorare per danneggiare KDE, e loro non vogliono un dipendente che definisce la versione KDE di RHL 8.0 un qualcosa di oltraggioso".Altre critiche incolpano Bluecurve per aver dato lo stesso aspetto ad entrambi i desktop anche se questi, sono ovviamente diversi sotto molti aspetti. Tale approccio è stato successivamente emulato da Mandrake Linux col suo tema "Galaxy", disponibile anch'esso per GNOME e KDE, e in Kubuntu 6.06 con il theme engine (motore di temi grafici) GTK-Qt abilitato di default. Alcuni modder di GUI hanno realizzato temi che emulano quelli di Bluecurve su altri sistemi operativi, compreso Windows. Gli utenti possono inoltre sostituire le loro icone Windows di default con icone che emulano Bluecurve, usando l'applicativo . Un tale set di icone può essere scaricato da . (it)
