The past couple days I've been interested in the fastest gtk-engine-theme available to load on my Ubuntu box. I just simply didn't want fast but as elegant as I could get. My search did not have to go far after discovering a couple articles and speed tests that still had BlueCurve theme engine as the fastest and by far the most elegant considering the speed increase.

So I began looking to get the "real" bluecurve installed on my Ubuntu box. The easiest way to do this is also the best way to do it. This is how I did it.
