you can just unzip TrueCurve and use it ... it works ok
to make the corners round, you need to change 1 symlink
if you don't patch/rebuild Icewm, i think there's a little gap at the top of the screen
i like some themes better, but people like different things, so having themes to choose from is good
it's pretty easy to make a dotpup to install a theme (a dotpup file is just a zip file), so maybe people will start making them ... probably the easiest way would be to use a dotpup file as a template ... i should make a few general purpose templates
an easy way to make an installer is to tar czPf your files, and put the line tar xzPf in the dotpup script ... this will un-tar the files using absolute paths, so they will be put where they were originally (i did not use tar.gz for dotpups, because servers often have the mime settings wrong, and they sometimes don't download properly)
