Developers: How to start working on custom window decorations?
Hi there! I really love the hello theme. It adds very elegant MacOS style buttons and has various customization options, one of which is setting the titlebar color per application.
-
What is this window decoration?
I'll probably not fork after all it as it seems to fit my needs if hello does not.
-
Do you have a theme suggestion?
It's discontinued sadly, but I love the Hello theme; I actually just use the plasma theme and the window decoration.

I installed a window decoration to make the window edges smoother and more rounded, if you look closely you can see the borders of the screen, I tried playing with the compositor in the settings and the only option that looks good is XRender, but that renders animations and blur wrong. What to do?
Take a look at this project, it's currently abandoned with the last pull done about a month ago to fix some minor issues, but this theme does the corners correctly without producing the blurred corner(except on konsole, since it does blur a bit independently) revising this could we should be able to find the way to properly implement proper blurring with rounded corners.

KWin dropped xrender backend, bad news for NVidia users?
Recently I discovered that the KWin team has dropped support for xrender in release 5.23. I am interested in the rationale behind this because I currently use xrender as my compositing backend and it is the only suitable option for high refresh rate displays + NVidia.

Anyone know of a way to change the drag to restore distance on maximized windows? It feels way too sticky and has been bugging me for months now. Tried what possible solutions I could find with no avail. Thanks!
I dug through the source looking for something to tweak and there's a lot I still don't understand about how the screen edge events work (like where the mouse exit event is?!? Found mouse enter, can't find anything like an exit event) but I'm confident there is no easy answer to do what you want unfortunately. It seems like if there was a config setting for it, it would be spec'd out here https://github.com/KDE/kwin/blob/24d865ea386654e3856a69277179b082ac2218f4/src/kwin.kcfg

https://github.com/KDE/kwin/blob/master/src/plugins/kdecorations/aurorae/src/aurorae.h this is where aurorare engine is doing its painting and this is where blur support could be added with no other libraries adjustments and dependencies.
