    Custom Window Decorations,ghost theme

    I just downloaded Kubuntu plasma 2 weeks ago, and I just downloaded ghost theme, I like this style. I was wondering if there was a way to change the window decorations for the plasmoids. I have pictures for window decorations I would like to use but I don't know how to do it.

    I have found a way to edit icons but not the window decorations for the widgets.

    I hope there is a way without downloading a bunch of stuff or coding. I am really new to the terminal.

    Widgets don't use window decorations, the look and feel is specific to the desktop plasma theme.
    Unfortunately, creating or even editing Plasma themes involves vector graphics knowledge, at least. No command line usage, though.

    If you go to the KDE store and manually download a few themes, you can look at the files and images that make up the layout. Stock themes are found in /usr/share/plasma/desktoptoptheme
    Themes you installed yourself are in ~/.local/share/plasma/desktoptoptheme

    I think you would have to slice up the border image you want into pieces, as the elements have to be re-sizable.

    Info is sparse but some links:

        Thankyou for the helpful reply. I downloaded inkscape and am reading up on vectors. I have 2 questions. Do I paste a file into the desktop folder? The ghost theme seems to be missing from the desktop theme folder. I am not sure why.
