Very nice.
I think the shades of green of bluecurve-lime have been very well balanced.
The other color schemes are nice as well, but the lime is clearly my favorite.
As for the window buttons, I have to say I prefer them this new way. Although
the old way, of using the entire bar, may have looked bigger, but I always
found myself clicking on the line, or X within the button anyway.
I think the icons look very good, though I should have looked closer at them
before installing, so I could have compared them better.
What to critique or make better? Well, I'll wait until you get the KDE
section done before I do that, as I'm much more familier with KDE.
I just wanted to let you know I thought things looked good.
