- Modifying the default style to use the new kwin plugin interface for proper
resource management.
- The new default style looks nearly the same, but adds several nice features
such as titlebar height and button position customisation among others,
and adds a config module for configuration.
- kwin plugin loader modified to reflect the new default plugin change. The
old default will be removed shortly.
- oh, and never ever flicker :)

Go and download some themes from icewm.themes.org! The client has customisable
button positions, and uses my newly added kwindecoration module to configure
its settings. Enjoy!!!

According to him, okayed by Mosfet and Matthias Ettrich,
I add it now to get it in before the freeze as he's got no account (yet)
svn path=/trunk/kdebase/kwin/; revision=77435
now only has one button entry, "ButtonBg", instead of 3. It's up to the client
what to do with it. All the clients are updated except mwm. As the
author noted in his README, mwm isn't Motif window manager at all but KStep ;-)
I disabled it for now until there is new drawing code in there, it would
confuse users anyways since were about to release another Krash and it is
identical to KStep.
Also, I removed the Groove and GrooveText color entries. We now use the
normal TitleBar and Font entries. Hence system will probably look funny until
you adjust the colors since it draws text on the frame and not the titlebar
bg. All the rest look much better by default.
To configure button colors set the active/inactive button background color
in KControl. I'll remove the other entries ASAP. You'll also note that the
active/inactive colors are now actually what you would expect.

from the KStyle aqua theme - color reduced, converted to bitmaps, and drawn
using the color scheme. The buttons in different color schemes shows why it's
really cool to support dynamic C++ engines as well as pixmap themes ;-) Also
uses a small frame with a resize handle and mac-like (hehe - of course ;-)
drawing for everything else.
Preliminary screenshots with different color schemes are at:

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 :)

It uses Be-like shaped titlebars, KDE standard buttons, has a shaped resize
handle, and automatically detects if you are on a highcolor display and if so
uses gradients based off the current color scheme. BTW, the buttons don't
necessarily match the titlebar but use the button foreground setting in KDE's
display settings so you can change them to whatever you like.
If no one objects I'll probably disable the old Be style. Unlike this style it
uses Be-like buttons but the drawing isn't very fancy and Be's two buttons are
a big restriction in KDE.

today.
First: All decoration pixmaps are now regenerated when the palette color scheme
changes. There is no longer any need to apply color schemes *before* switching
styles or reload the plugin. The schemes can change any time and be handled
correctly by styles that generate their pixmaps based on the color scheme.
Second: The color scheme has been extended to allow separate entries for
different visual styles. For example there are now entries for both titlebar
rectangle fills like those used in the standard KDE style and KStep vs.
titlebar grooves like those used in System. The same thing applies to
foreground colors for buttons that follow the button background settings like
KStep and System vs. those that don't like the standard style.
Right now none of the color schemes have the new entries so defaults are
calculated, usually by judging the intensity of what the decoration is
drawn on and contrasted with that. To check things out look at the standard,
KStep, and System styles under color schemes like default, CDE, and Digital
CDE.
The Be style is not updated because I have a cooler one on my HD ;-)
I hope this makes David happier <grin> :)

compatible style. This isn't done but currently reads most of the entries. It
requires you use kwinrc and kdeglobals so kthememgr will need to be updated if
you don't want to apply things manually ;-) I also have to add custom cursor
positioning and some other small things. Also, KWM used a bitmap to set the
mask and I do for now as well. This needs to change into regions as it is
*really* inefficent with KWin. For now installing the .desktop for the plugin
is disabled. I will provide some screenshots for the curious when I launch
mosfet.org ;-)

and it kept segfaulting because I wasn't releasing windows, and b) The plugins
didn't want to resolve anything in the kwin executable, only to the other
libs. I finally solved this by using -rdynamic in kwin's LDFLAGS, which I hope
is okay ;-)
