Description: Red Hat Bluecurve theme ported to GTK 3 / 4. Designed for the MATE desktop environment.
GTK 3 theme was forked from Blueshell and significantly modified/updated to make the theme better resemble the original GTK 2 theme as well as adding GTK 4 support.
Also includes the Bluecurve icon theme, as well as the original XFWM4 and Metacity themes, developed by Red Hat. The Metacity themes were updated by myself to fix bugs present when using the themes with the MATE desktop environment.
Installation instructions: Download the theme and run the install.sh script.Last changelog:
v3.0.0
The theme has been significantly rewritten, and as a result there are major improvements, especially to the GTK 4 theme.
For the full changelog, see the release notes on GitHub.
Do you plan to make the icon theme work in modern desktop environments, too? For example, Videos and Pictures and other folders do not have their icon in XFCE. Again, thank you very much for your work!
First of all, thank you for the kind words. I'm working on adding full XFCE support. Currently I'm adding the rest of the color schemes to the original XFWM4 theme, and after that I'll port over the icon theme (note I am rather busy these days, but I expect to get everything done by the end of the week).
As for other environments, I don't really have any interest in adding GNOME or KDE support; I doubt the theme would look good there anyways.

¡Qué lindo estos son los temas que necesitamos; porque aparte de "BlackMate" lo que viene por defecto es horrible, especialmente adwaita!
