<para>The &kde; default window decoration is called "Oxygen".</para>

|
<para>Each style has a different look, but also a different
|
|
<quote>feel</quote>. Some have (sometimes invisible)
|
|
<quote>resize</quote> borders all around the edge, which make resizing
|
|
easier but moving more difficult. Some have no borders on certain
|
|
edges. One (<quote>BII</quote>) even has a dynamically sized and
|
|
positioned title element.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>You are encouraged to experiment with the different styles until
|
|
you find one which best suits your pattern of work.</para>
|
|

<para>Below the preview pane you find three buttons to open configuration dialogs
|
|
for decoration and buttons of the selected style or to download additional

styles.</para>

<para>This dialog allows you to customize the buttons location on the titlebar. You can move Close button to the left for example. Check the <guilabel>Use custom titlebar button positions</guilabel> option in order to customize your titlebars. Then use the &kde; titlebar below and the buttons on its left and right to rearrange them as you want them.

<note>
|
|
<para>Not all the window decorations are able to comply with your custom
|
|
set button order. The ones that cannot are being converted, but at the
|
|
time of this release they have not been all been changed.</para>
|

</note>
|
|
|
|
<para>Apart from choosing the window decoration itself, you can choose
|
|
here two further options: if there should be a tooltip while you hover
|
|
your mouse over a window decoration button, and if the window
|
|
decoration should attempt to use a custom set button order.</para>
|
|
|
|
<tip>
|
|
<para>The tooltips can be quite useful if you have set a custom button
|
|
order, and then changed to an unfamiliar window decoration.</para>

<tip>
|
|
<para>For accessibility purposes, some window decorations support
|
|
extra wide borders. If this is available, you can also choose a
|
|
border size here. These large borders are easier to see for low
|
|
vision users, and easier to grab for people with limited mobility or
|
|
difficulty using a mouse.</para>
