### 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!

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!

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!

Now that there is such a nice Windeco we need a Theme for it.
So spasemunkie how would it be if you make us another 'silly little drawing'?

Although this first version is mostly modeled from the plastik feel, it can very easily become this concept with more work.
Hopefully the first version will be out within the end of the month for people to try out.

KDE's got nice text editor and file manager, but most of its themes hurts your eyes or are simply not good. If someone made a theme on this design, that would be a perfact one. Thanks a lot for comming up with such an intuitive design.

** Please note: this is NOT a working window decoration, just a sketch of a potential one **
although if you read a little more you will see that someone made an IceWM deco of this, you might want to check that out

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.

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:

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.

I don't understand why kde windecs are so few; GNOME windecs are more colorful and original IMHO

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.

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
