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.

Hey all,
I have recently posted a few new screenshots which demonstrate some of
the latest updates in the "redhat-artwork" package.

You can get the most recent version in Rawhide or out of CVS. As of this
writing, the current Rawhide URL for redhat-artwork is:
http://rawhide.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/redha...
Brief overview of a few changes since the Red Hat Linux 9 time frame:
Icons
=====
* Reworked the entire icon set, now generated by XML configs and
icon sheets
* Multiple icon sizes are now available (not fully complete yet)
* All icons are now pixel optimized per size
* New mimetype file icons
* Updated stock icons
* Initial support for KDE stock icons (actions) now available (size
issues need to be sorted out, so it's not working quite yet)
* Gnome panel icons are 36x36 instead of 24x24 (for the time being,
at least...)
Window Decorations
================
* Window frame decorations have a new style
* Metacity theme implemented
* KDE's KWin theme needs to be updated still
Widgets
=======
* A few tweaks for the GTK+ theme configuration.
* Additional color schemes are now available for Bluecurve
Access these additional themes by selecting "desktop menu > preferences
> theme" from the panel, hitting the "Details..." button, and in the
"Controls" tab, select "Bluecurve-Slate" or some other Bluecurve
color
scheme.
Of course, there is still work to be done. Please file bugs, help out,
and/or provide feedback on the package.
Thanks,
Garrett
