9e709f2784 Frame for the titlebar. I originally left this out to leave more room for
the text when using tiny titlebars but it looks like crap without it ;-)

BTW, is this style working well for laptop people?

1079007ceb Thinking about what Cristian said and how it's going to be difficult to
satisfy both laptop users who want large buttons and those who have low
resolution and want small bars. So I made it configurable :)

You can now set the titlebar height anywhere from 14 to 32 pixels, which also
changes the button size:

You currently need to edit ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc and set:

[Laptop]
TitleHeight=Some number between 14-32.

Then restart KWin (it's not in the options class yet). The default is still
a small titlebar.

Here's the shot I put up before with the default small titlebar:

Here's one with a larger titlebar (21 pixels):

0c77d7383e Trying to make the titlebar buttons easier to hit on laptops by increasing the
width. The issue here is I want to make the buttons as wide as possible for
laptop mice without having the titlebar be all buttons and no title ;-) My
solution so far is making the common buttons bigger and the uncommon ones
smaller. It's not consistent but let's me make the areas frequently hit
wide as hell, which is good for a laptop :) Close, iconify, and maximize are
larger - sticky and help are smaller.

Another updated shot is at:

ef5094b21a New KWin look-and-feel plugin specifically coded for laptops :)
It features a reduced height taskbar with oversized width buttons (I may make
these even wider to make them easier to hit), a minimal frame, and a
oversized shaped resize handle. Uses the system KWin style buttons, not just
because I like them but because they fit in the reduced size bar ;-)

As usual, here's a screenshot:

On another note, the Be style is going away and is now replaced by B2. Be
needs work so I asked Matthias Ettrich about it (he's the maintainer of that
style), and it turns out he's already using B2 :)
