Description:

### UPDATE ###
Fellow kde-look user p0z3r has gone through the trouble to implement my silly little drawing into a well-implemented window decoration.

Check it out here, and vote him up!
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=23764

Original description below
-----------------------------

So... I was playing around with Inkscape trying to create a simple little X button, and here I am, two hours later with a potential KDE window decoration.

Honestly, I don't know what is involved in making an honest-to-goodness window decoration, but if people like this enough, I might take the time to figure it out.

Enjoy!

Changelog:

20050505: Implemented by p0z3r! Thanks dude, you've done a great job.

20050401_1353: Changed the content file to the (gzipped) Inkscape SVG file. It seems that p0z3r has graciously offered to implement this as a native window decoration, and I will do everything I can to help him. Please stay tuned for updates!

20050128_1615: Thanks to skullbooks, we now have a working IceWM theme based on these drawings. Please check it out at http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=20128 and mod him up for his effort!

20050125_2150: Buttons! Added a bunch of buttons in the third screenshot. They are about 42x42 each in the full PNG and have a nice transparent background. CROP! RESIZE! REPEAT!

License:
As far as licensing is concerned, they are just images at this point, and I personally permit (and highly encourage) anyone to just go ahead and copy/mimick/use these images to their heart's content, so long as they are used and given free of charge.

I really like the style, it's not the same thing like all the other window decorations.
I guess it isn't too easy to create a kwin window decoration (well - I never tried it) but I created several (not good looking but working) IceWM window managers which should be easy for you, too.

Sincerely,
Felix

It's a nice windec, maybe it's not really original but it's good.
I don't understand why kde windecs are so few; GNOME windecs are more colorful and original IMHO

I really don't know why so many think that Gnome is so colorful or original. Take a look at these examples:

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=19816&file1=19816-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=Amiga+BlueTabs-Blue

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=19894

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=19631&file1=19631-1.png&file2=19631-2.png&file3=19631-3.png&name=Mellow

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=19627&file1=19627-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=CDE-Solaris

Where is the color in colorful, where is the original in originality. Gnome has its advantages, but it is for sure not a beautiful destop application.

nonsense. I hope you realize you failed miserably in making any argument in any direction. I could easily go find 5 ugly windecs for any desktop environment, and it wouldn't prove a thing. The bottom line is, there are some very nice metacity themes, and I'd have to agree with netfranz, there are more original and colorful windecs posted more often for Gnome than for KDE. The OpenGL windecs recently popping up are extremely enticing, however.

Your buttons are very nice, really great work.

Would you send the buttons to me and allow me to add them to both of my decorations as button themes? These are crystal and crystal-gl:

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=18983

It should be no problem, if your buttons are about 14x14px and transparent pngs. :) Of course you get full credit.
I am a programmer not a designer and I am searching for nice designed button images for my window decorations.

After looking at your windecs, I wasn't exactly sure what you wanted, so I just split out a couple variations of the buttons and added them in as a third screenshot (as a big transparent PNG). It should probably only require a little cropping and resizing on your part to get what you want.

Enjoy!

Have you used the Grover windec? It has an option ("plastic" iirc) to looks kinda something like this, except for the buttons. The buttons are nice.
