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.
