+
+Hi folks,
+
+the artwork team discussed to change the window decoration and abandon
+IaOra, because it is old-fashioned and it is a lot of work to maintain.
+
+Therefore, a new default window decoration is needed, which is available
+for all environments (KDE, GNOME, Qt, GTK+), well maintained and looks
+acceptable.
+
+As far as we know, Oxygen matches all these requirements. Oxygen exists
+for all environments with the same maintainers for it. Thus, we would
+like to discuss to switch to Oxygen as the default window decoration for
+Mageia 2.
+
+One disadvantage would be, that Mageia looses one unique feature, as it
+uses a "generic" window decoration. But it would also be a well
+maintained, good looking, up to date window decoration, which also
+supports special (KDE) features like the tabbing mode.
+
+Please let us know, what you think about. Most interesting are technical
+aspects, we might forgot, but also your "feeling" with it.
+
+Greetings,
+Thorsten
