+ <br>
+ the discussion also take place last week in the mailing
+ list, but I'd like to<br>
+ do that in an extra thread.<br>
+ <br>
+ To summarize the current situation:<br>
+ The current window decoration (Ia Ora), looks old fashioned
+ and is hard to<br>
+ maintain. 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 -&gt; uniform look<br>
+ * relative unique look for mageia<br>
+ * hard to say, what happens if the upstream developer drop
+ the decoration<br>
+ <br>
+ &gt;From the dev-side of view, solution 1 is the best. But
+ form the artwork-side,<br>
+ I'm not very happy with it. Our KDE would look like Kubuntu,
+ but with a<br>
+ different startmenu button. Although a lot of people change
+ the decoration<br>
+ either, it's making a special first impression if it looks
+ different (and good,<br>
+ hopefully). Thus, I would like, if we can go with solution
+ 3. But for that, we<br>
+ need more information.<br>
+ <br>
+ I need one of you, who will search the web for decorations
+ that exist in kde,<br>
+ gnome (and qt). And list them somewhere in the wiki. After
+ that, we can take a<br>
+ closer look, if this a practicable way, or if we better go
+ with an other<br>
+ solution.<br>
+ <br>
+ One extra note: It already has been mentioned, that the
+ oxygen window<br>
+ decoration (which is the default for KDE) exist also for
+ GNOME2/3 and Qt<br>

+ <br>
+ Except some comments like "I don't like it" or "it's old", some
+ points we should keep in mind<br>
+ <br>
+ - ia_ora took ages to be integrated in both KDE and GNOME. Design
+ part of the game is somewhat the smallest part of the iceberg :).
+ Technical integration is another story.<br>
+ - having the same theme for both KDE and GNOME is not only a
+ question of choosing an environment. More and more users are mixing
+ GTK and Qt apps. Having something uniform was quite a strong point
+ in Mandriva and it should be a mandatory point<br>
+ - as explained in first point, developping a theme is painfull. If
+ we have a theme available for bot environment that is a good
+ starting point. Developpers can always decide not to develop it at
+ one time. But at least we have something ready to use.<br>
+ <br>
+ Cheers<br>
