Description: OK. So, it's a Mac-ripoff. Started as sort-of an attempt to get a legacy Mac Aqua look, but as I might have wanted it back when the iMacs had the "translucent striped plastic" look... --the way Macs were before everything was flat screen. It wasn't my original intent, but the color scheme wound up being light and Easter-ish. ...and it just so happened that I created the theme right around Easter.
Greetings. Wow, it has been a long time since I did this. I think way back when KDE 4.x was still a little new. At the time QtCurve was the best option to get a consistent look across both KDE and Gnome.... Then the Gnome folks smoked a few too many and made GTK changes erratic enough that the QtCurve developer threw up his hands and stopped supporting GTK3. It's been a while since I took a look at KDE, but it looked like QtCurve (used here as both widget style and window decoration) had long ago become an afterthought. Right now I'm on a Mac, but may consider Linux Mint if they get the new one right. --BH
It was quite a while back, wasn't it? At the time KDE and Gnome both seemed too heavy for me, but I was pretty happy with XFCE. Now I'm using Plasma and discovered that it's quite easy to tweak QtCurve compared to all of the other options, hence why I'm browsing this area of opendesktop.org. What I'd give to have a working GTK3 port of it. I guess I'll look into if there's a way to use QtCurve for window decorations in Plasma.
Thanks for replying, btw! Really wasn't expecting that. Hahaha.

This is super old, so I don't actually expect a response, but just in case, what are you doing for window decorations there?
