SOME REQUEST - a lot of you guy's were asking for binaries for their distros,

Hi there,
this is the deKorator kwin deco,
deKorator is based on the HOWTO: KWin Window Manager Decorations posted in here: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6332
and done by Brandybuck, 10x david
the man that responsible for all the art design is jon clarke AKA ArbitraryReason, and if you don't know him by now all you should do is just look at the highest rated scores of this site
the nice thing about deKorator it's that it loads is images from
some user defined directory(something quiet similar to what iceWM is doing ),
thats means that everything is themeable with no time and no programming knowledge is needed.
one thing to note is that if you would like to see the changes instantly when designing the tiles, you need to run "kwin --replace&".
few notes:
when installing the new version, log out and login back, or run "kwin --replace&" to load the new version.
if for some reason some options dont seem to work, remove your old kwindeKoratorrc file and let deKorator produce a new one.
i will update my site with some more documentation, samples, template-themes, and other usefull stuff for the theme makers,
so don't forget to check it out, it will be located in the "goodies" directory.
how to install new theme - there r 3 ways to install new theme I'll name them out,
1 - downlad theme tarball and extract it to $HOME/.kde/share/apps/deKorator/themes
2 - download theme tarball, go to deKorator "themes" tab push the "install new theme" push button, you'll be presented with a dialog box, enter your theme URL or just use the little push button to locate your theme on your file system.
3 - go to kde-look and search for some 0.2 deKorator theme, in the theme post right click on the download link and "copy link address", then just go to deKorator "themes" tab push the "install new theme" button and paste the link onto the address bar, deKorator will download and install it for you.
most importent after any installation type, if you'd like to use the theme you need to press on the "set theme path's" push button.
And PLEASE if you got any comment good or bad, suggestion, feature request, other tiling format idea, please feel free to shout it...
10x to eyal the project is hosted now at www.cheetux.org.il, you could also find there some theme's i've ported from 0.1 to 0.2.

very nice collection & simple install!!! voted good :) thx
Okay, I feel like an idiot, but how do I open deKorator? I don't know where it installed to.
Just wondering if you are working on this. If you do I have some requests :) 1. Be able to set the title-bar text on Y-coordinates (up or down) at what pixel I want. 2. A frame around the title bar-text (like the old Keramik-theme). With those two suggestions added, the possibility's are endless :)
