It would also require a lot effort to port IaOra to gtk3 (needed for<br> +Gnome3). Therefore we need a new window decorations and there are the<br> +following solutions:<br> +1.) use the default decoration of each desktop environment:<br> +* Very easy, no extra work needed<br> +* all work is done upstream<br> +* no unique look for mageia<br> +* different look in kde and gnome<br> +<br> +2.) create a new decoration for mageia<br> +* Unique look for mageia<br> +* uniform look in all environments<br> +* heavy heavy load for the devs (kde, qt4, gtk2, gtk3)<br> +<br> +3.) Use other existing window decorations<br> +* easy, just a few work needed<br> +* the are decorations that exists for all common environments -> uniform look<br> +* relative unique look for mageia<br> +* hard to say, what happens if the upstream developer drop the decoration<br> +<br> +>From the dev-side of view, solution 1 is the best.
