Description:

This is the Acqua window decoration, modified to draw drop-shadows behind the windows, configure rounded corners, and put the application icon in the title bar.
Last changelog:

18 years ago

Lots of changes since the last release:
* Shadows can be drawn behind ALL windows
* Shadows redraw properly (ie. no shadows over kicker)
* Configurable buttons
* Configurable borders
* All l3m's changes (and others)
* Various bug fixes

The next release (out in a few days) will let mouse clicks pass through the shadows - I havn't had time to do that today, but it's pretty easy ;-)

Mar 03 looks to old, and it uses obsolete interfaces - no way we can use it on new version of KDE without modifications. And there is newer and better versions in KDE 3.2 + section =)

Do you maybe have an older version of the source available? Or could you fix the Makefile. I´m getting the kwin.la error too. If it helps, I´m using slackware 10.

I'm using FreeBSD 5.4, and I also get errors about "kwin.la":

Does this need a library that I need to install?

this is a gorgeous decoration, but i only wish i could use it. i downloaded the rpm and its dependencies (libGLcore, liblcms) and installed them into my fedora installation, but there's no sign of the config panel you have in the screenshot. i'm guessing that there's some additional mandrake-based rpm's that need to be downloaded to make this work on fedora? or maybe i need a vendor-neutral kde? any ideas?

First there was a problem with it finding the localtion of kwin.la, that was easy to fix.

But then I get errors:

I had the problem, but found the solution. The same solution has worked for a variety of the Mac OS X themes and is all to do with the default location for the libs and the .desktop files.

Copy /usr/local/kde/share/apps/kwin/*.desktop to /opt/kde3/share/apps/kwin/ and copy all the relevant libs from /usr/local/kde/lib/kde3/ to /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/

This worked for me (Suse 8.2 Professional) and I can now enjoy these excellent themes/decs/etc

I downloaded, unpacked, compiled, and installed but it doesn't show up as an available Window Decoration. It seemed to add its files to /usr/local/kde/lib/kde3. I tried linking the files to /usr/local/kde/lib/kde3/ where the other window decoration libs seemed to be, but that didn't work either. I can't find any documentation on how to set this up. I read the README and INSTALL files that came with the package and I haven't been able to find anything useful on google either. If someone could point me at TFM, I would appreciate it.

This is my absolute fav window deco, unfortunately won't compile on KDE3.2.
Did anyone make an attempt to port it?
I emailed the author but got no reply.

I know nothing about making these themes and such, but does it really need Qt compiled with multithreading support?
