The generic QML components from Aurorae are split out into an
own declarative plugin. In addition two new helper classes are
added to this plugin:
* A ColorHelper to map a few function of KColorSheme and making
it possible to actually work with colors in QML. The need
emerged from trying to port Plastik to QML which makes strong
use of color shading.
* A DecorationOptions class which is a wrapper around KWin's
KDecorationOptions but in a more useable way for QML. The
various options are provided as properties and the value of
the properties changes automatically depending on whether the
decoration is active or inactive.
Aurorae itself is not yet adjusted to these changes, but it
should also be adjusted as some of the options are currently
exported in the factory and the factory is injected into the
Aurorae QML decoration.
What's working:
* background for active and inactive decorations inclusive transitions
* all buttons get loaded
* transition between button states
* all borders, paddings etc is working
* mouse interaction with buttons and title area
What's not yet working:
* special maximize mode
* mouse wheel on title area
* window tabs
* changing themes
* crash resistence (currently a not compiling QML file crashes KWin badly)
* window/blur mask (tricky - we need the alpha mask of the background SVG)
What's going to be dropped:
* special opaque mode
* decoration position at left/right/bottom instead of top
Why? Because nobody uses these features
It should support everything the old engine supported. Only known regression is the lack of tooltips.
Now finally Aurorae is ready to get window tab support \o/

This change magically fixes the problem that you had to close the systemsettings window to use the GHNS dialog.

This theme engine uses SVG files to theme the decoration like the themes for Plasma desktop shell.
