how to add window decoration to KDE

English Applications
#1

Hi,

I find Kwin a bit boring and I would like to use Windows decoration like those in here:
Eyecandy for your KDE-Desktop - KDE-Look.org

How can I enable emerald, etc in opensuse 11.2?

Thank you in advance.

For emerald you need compiz. I suggest you don’t use compiz, but stick with kWin instead.

To change window decorations there’s Configure Desktop - Appearance - Windows. To get a very flexible Window decorator, install ‘bespin’ or ‘aurorae’ through the software installer. The latter is beautiful, with downloadable themes, like other KDE apps.

Hope this helps you to get where you want.
