Could you describe the limitations in deKorator that you ran into? I am looking what I can improve there. Thanks.

Sure thing! I'll put my comments over on the kde-look dekorator page.

found a little glitch. If the window width is very small it looks a bit ugly, because the buttons have dark background, but left of the buttons you see the light blue from the left end...

Yes, and there's no real way to get around this. I might tweak a *little* more to make it less pronounced, but dekorator simply doesn't 'stretch' anything, it won't expand a gradient. Instead, you can place either side of a gradient on the ends and place a repeating graphic in the middle - usually only one pixel wide to avoid weird cyclic stuff.

If I could code kwin, it might work better. Sadly, I can't :/.

my bad... i deleted qtcurves config files and now everything looks smooth.

what style are you using there? i tried all presets in qtcurve settings, but it never looked as in your shot.

I thought I was using the default! It must be some custom thing I did and forgot about. Sorry for being unhelpful.

Could you paste here the contents of ~/.config/qtcurvestylerc ? Anyway, thanks for this great window decoration!

I'm pretty sure it's the default.

Yes, you are right. I deleted the file .config/qtcurvestylerc and I obtained the same result. For the users who want a config file that can be imported in the configuration dialog of QtCurve, I paste the settings which I obtain when I export the default style (I exported the default style because one cannot be sure that the default will remain the same in future versions of QtCurve):
