    [SOLVED] I want observable 'frames' for my application windows!

    Hi guys!

    I spent some time recently experimenting with my KDE interface, downloading and tweaking the Appearance and Workspace options and I am quite pleased with the result. However, I cannot find a combination of adjustments that give me noticeable 'frames' around the application windows. Since I am wanting only light colored themes I find that overlapping windows "disappear" into each other.

    What I am looking for is reminiscent of Windows (shudder) XP. On my predominantly white application backgrounds I want dark (black) frames. Because of the problem of them disappearing I wouldn't mind them being wider than a 'pencil line' and I really want the page elevators to also be wide and not disappear as is the current design vogue. Suggestions please.

      Thanks, again, claydoh. Just changing the window decorations I couldn't see much if any change when applied. However, reading the (ahem) Help file I finally found that I can change the borders to eight different sizes! The option wasn't real obvious to me. I settled for Large and I am now much happier! Great!

                    You don't recall this one? it IS a legit KDE theme from the early KDE 4 days, Fluffy Bunny. Done more an a demonstration example or design exercise, as much as for fun.
