Bluecurve

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.

The Bluecurve icon set remained installed in Fedora 7, but was replaced as the default by Echo.

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).

[citation needed] Enterprising GUI artists have created themes in the past that emulated the Bluecurve theme on other operating systems, including Microsoft Windows.
