If you tried the system window manager style you probably noticed it's not
too nice looking using the standard KDE color schemes. This is because this
is the first style to use a kwin extended color configuration and needs some
additional entries in order to look decent.

To try it out with the extended color configuration I am using open:

~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals

And replace the [WM] section with these entries:

activeBackground=192,192,192
activeBlend=0,0,0
activeForeground=0,0,0
handle=140,140,140
inactiveHandle=140,140,140
inactiveBackground=192,192,192
inactiveBlend=192,192,192
inactiveForeground=128,128,128
buttonForegroundDown=144,170,191
buttonBackgroundDown=163,163,163
buttonBlendDown=0,0,0
buttonBackground=163,163,163
buttonBlend=0,0,0 

Once a kwin color scheme selection kcmmodule is done this will no longer be a 
problem ;-)
