kwin/clients/PORTING
Luboš Luňák 87fa54326f As kdelibs/NAMING says, using lib<appname>.la as name for a library is bad.
Library name changed to libkdecorations.la .

Just a checklist for now, maybe a full HOWTO later.
porting:
- note that decorations are ported from HEAD, not from the branch - HEAD may have fixes that are not in the branch
- Makefile.am - LDFLAGS, LIBADD, kwin_ -> kwin3_, if in kdebase, add INCLUDES for libkdecorations before $(all_includes)
- .desktop - kwin_ -> kwin3_
- KWinButton -> QButton + QToolTip
- #include qbutton.h, kdecoration.h, kdecorationfactory.h
- Client* -> MyClient* in button class, pass parent->widget() to QButton
- inherit from KDecoration instead of Client
- no internal kwin #include, no namespace KWinInternal
- ctor takes KDecorationBridge* and KDecorationFactory*
- WResizeNoErase atd -> pass to createMainWidget()
- ctor is empty, all initialization done in init()
- createMainWidget() as the fist thing in init(), and widget()->installEventFilter( this )
- implement eventFilter()
- maximize changes - to flip a value, use maximize( maximizeMode() ^ XYZ ), for full maximize flip
use maximizeMode() == MaximizeFull ? maximize( MaximizeRestore ) : maximize( MaximizeFull )
- Sticky -> OnAllDesktops
- iconify -> minimize
- ther's no signal resetClients(), use KDecorationFactory::reset(), KDecorationFactory::resetDecorations(), KDecoration::reset()
- often this -> widget() , or prepend widget()-> , sometimes it may be handy to create wrapper functions for e.g. width()
- layout is created in ctor, so call createLayout() directly there
- options -> options()
- no calls to Client::XYZ()
- titlebarDblClickOperation() for doubleclick on titlebar
- use extern "C" create_factory() returning your KDecorationFactory
- init(), deinit(), reset(), create()/allocate() -> KDecorationFactory
- reset() - instead of resetAllClients() return true, use argument for change detection, use resetDecorations()
for reseting decorations if not requesting recreating of decoration by returning true
- activeChange(bool) -> activeChange() + isActive(), etc.
- minimumSize()
- borders()
- contextHelp() -> showContextHelp()
- color setting values - prepend Color
- buttons may need setCursor( arrowCursor )
- windowWrapperShowEvent() is gone
- animateIconifyOrDeiconify() -> animateMinimize() - just drop it if it's empty
- option settings for colors need Color prefixed
