| I would be ok with a lot of changes, as long as the (one slab thing) would not be corropted. But this was about a patch to make the windeco be colorable that would totaly brake that. That is an ok feature but iw not oxygen, its brakes the frist guidlines in oxygen theme. |

There is no need to make the whole windowdecoration colorable, the titlebar is enough. You can make it a nice gradient from the selected colour to the windowcolour, making a smooth transition. This would both be efficent and solve two major bugs, and it would look nice.
If the oxygen guidelines will not allow this, it's obviously flawed and need to be fixed. When the spesification don't work in the real world, you have to change it. It's a no brainer, real world always thrumps spesifications and visions.

Just take a glance at Enlightenment e17 . There is a wonderful animation, i.e. a bright flash appearing from time to time on the currently active title bar. This is just NEAT! Means: I'd love to see this in KDE as well...

The effect I'm thinking about is like when you dip the edge of a paper in paint, and it soaks up the paint.
I have minimal skill with drawing tools, so this only shows the principle of how it will look with enabled titlebarcolour, obviously it needs tweaking.

What about a glow similar to the focus glow of buttons and other areas in the Oxygen theme? It could fit in well, since similar glows are used throughout Oxygen.

An idea of which i don't know the consequences

When a window goes to the background, how about removing 50% of the colour - similar effect when you log out and the desktop goes black and white.

Mm I think is a great idea though. Perhaps this is one for the developers to stop moaning about and fix the flickering? :)

There's the composite effect "darken inactive" that does pretty much the same. 20% works very well for me, and I find it ergonomically and aesthetically more pleasing than a coloured titlebar.

Yeah, but composite ain't enabled by default, and Oxygen needs to be able to work without it.
Besides, composite performance at the moment is not optimal
