A new window decorator

QuinnStorm has made a new window decorator, catchily named 'custom-generic-window-decorator' and it is now ready for anyone to use. Her post about the release is here and her original announcment is here


Quite how there are already so many themes available when the 'relese' post was only 2 days ago astounds me - here a few to show off the variety

Here you can see Vista-Ish, Community (which looks really cool when you mouseover the cube!), Siro, OSX and Gilouche

From the release post:

I'm tired of not working on anything, and of course will gladly scrap the project should someone come up with a really better solution, but I think its time to start implementing my ideas for a new window-decorator. If this project works, and only once it does, I'll revert the g-w-d distributed with my compiz (and thus the decoration plugin) to their original state.

She has reverted gwd as described so you need cgwd and if you want to use will need to change your compiz start script. cgwd is in Quinn's repo:

From the repo front page

* remove patched g-w-d, in favor of cgwd
* to use cgwd, install packages 'cgwd' and 'gcompizthemer' and if you like,
'gcompizthemer-themes' (cgwd >= 0.1, gcompizthemer >= 0.13,
gcompizthemer-themes >= 0.5)

jesper has added support for all sizes of icons- see his post here
