Ha! Yes, definitely old now. I have spent some time trying to get a
couple of versions of Bluecurve to install & be usable on Ubuntu, but
I have always failed.

My greater question, though, you did not touch upon. How come Kubuntu,
as one of the main, dominant, officially-sanctioned remixes of Ubuntu,
does not have (a version of) the same themes as Ubuntu proper? Same
goes for Xubuntu, too.
