AW: Re: window decoration for dapper final?

[Christoph Wiesen]

Hmmm, somebody in a position to change the default back again or at least 
propose this reading here?

Here's a screenshot from a KDE dev blog (hope he doesn't mind the minor 
bandwidth theft):

Isn't that actually flight-4? I think this looks a lot cleaner than whats 
presented in flight-5. The white on blue in the titlebar buttons are even a 
lot more elegent than plastik used to be with black on blue buttons. Lighten 
up the blue a tad bit and it's still a pretty fresh look without sacrificing 
performance.

Removing the outer line as it's been suggested before would be an option of 
course, but I don't think it's mandatory to do this when using plastik 
windecos.

Regards,
