kwin/NEWCOLORSCHEME.README

KWin can now handle some new color scheme entries in addition to the ones
handled by KWM. Note that these are suggestions and all the colors may not
be used by all KWin styles. These all currently go into the [WM] group.

frame, inactiveFrame : Window frame (was fixed to general KDE bg in KWM).

handle, inactiveHandle : Window handles (sometimes called "grips").

activeBackground, inactiveBackground : Tilebars (bad name, but it's what KWM
uses). This is for styles that use a solid filled rectangle for the titlebar
such as the standard style and KStep.

activeGroove, inactiveGroove: This is for titlebars that instead of a solid
rectangle use some sort of groove or small bevels layered on the frame.
An example of this is System.

activeBlend, inactiveBlend : Titlebar blend for styles that use a rectangle
titlebar fill.

activeForeground, inactiveForeground : Tilebar text for styles that use a
rectangle titlebar fill.

activeGrooveText, inactiveGrooveText: Titlebar text for styles that use
grooved titlebar styles instead of the solid fill. This should contrast with
the frame color.

activeTitleBtnBg, inactiveTitleButtonBg : Button background color for up and 
down states.

activeTitleBtnBlend, inactiveTitleBtnBlend : Button blend.

activeTitleBtnFg, activeTitleBtnFg :  Some style's buttons don't use the
above button background colors but instead draw the button foreground
transparently on the frame. The best example of this is the standard KDE
style. Use this to specify a color for such styles, which should contrast with
the frame - not the button bg.

activeTitleBtnFullFg, inactiveTitleBtnFullFg: This is for styles that have
full support for button background settings. Examples are KStep and System.
This should contrast with the button background.
