Description:
Hi!!
This is a simple-looking kwin decoration.
========================
Main features are the "scrolling titlebar caption", (as in screenshot 1)
and mouseover color change effect on buttons.
If somebody had already done this "scrolling", I have to apologize for
being a copycat.
Of course I didn't mean to steal your idea, I was just too newbie that I
didn't know your work.
Please let me hear your opinion/advice,
so thatI can possibly do better next time!!
Any feedbacks are very welcome.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!!! Last changelog:

It's possible make skrolling the title in vertical?? just like matrix!!!^^
Thanks for very cool idea, and sorry for delay. Yeah, doing Matrix stuff would be way cool! I tested vertical scrolling but it didn't look like it because of simple background, and the way it scrolls(all text scrolling together) So, I'll do "the matrix" in my next one!!
Innovative. Good thinking.
Thans!!
hey, its cool, never seen a scrolling titlebar... maybe you can make it scroll only if the title doesn't fit?
Thanks so much for the feedback & a great idea!!! Updated version (0.1) supports that.
sorry, using 0.1 leads to an crash of kwin, as soon as i hit "ok" or "apply"... i couldn't get any info about the crash, exept this: (no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1".

I am so sorry, I tried a lot but I could not reproduce the bug above. I have no idea why this crash didn't occur on me, I use 32-bit system so this may be why. I would really appriciate if anybody tells me whether you encountered this crash, or didn't encounter this crash, so I can maybe find out what's wrong. Thanks for the bug report anyway, I appreciate it!
