Hey all,
I have recently posted a few new screenshots which demonstrate some of
the latest updates in the "redhat-artwork" package.
You can see screenshots at the following URLs:

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/redhat-artwork-0.78-1.i386.rpm
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
