Description:

This is a quick and dirty copy of the Apple Platinum window decorations using the emerald pixmap engine. I have also created a script to recolor this theme that I will upload separately. Note that it doesn't work too well with kwin's smaragd plugin because of a bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381947

Hope you enjoy it!

KDE Smaragd bug is kinda sad :( Any chance to get it fixed?

I don't really know. I understand very little of code beyond just simple scripts. Based on one of the comments in the bug thread it sounded pretty simple. Something about the title rectangle being set to the wrong rectangle.

The issue is there might not be anyone who has the time and knowledge who is actually interested in using emerald pixmap themes. The types of themes this affects are pretty out of style, afaict (even though _I_ really like them).

Plasma theme is Atelier (you can find that here on opendesktop.org). The icon theme is called Nine Icons, I think. I found them here: https://github.com/grassmunk/Platinum9. One thing to note about the icon theme is that it's missing a lot of icons so you'll probably want to change the line in index.theme "Inherits=..." to a newer icon theme. You want to use the folder name to set that. Hope that helps.
