MKUltra (KDE 3.2 port)
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This is the KDE 3.2 port of the clean MKUltra window decoration by Shamyl Zakariya. Praise for the good design goes to him, bug reports to me. ;)
-----
MKUltra is a lightweight native KWin style derived from the minimalist and excellent Web style.
MKUltra ought to appeal to those out there who aren't impressed by super complex alpha-blended reflective throbbing multithreaded aqua clones/alternatives.
Note -- MKUltra respects your choice of window titlebar colors, and actually looks good when window shaded!

if you get this error:
Quote:checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!
then you have to install kde headers. on an ubuntu box you would install the package kdebase-dev

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
on configure phase, which of course is a lie ;) Any ideas how to get rid of this?

cd ~/Desktop/mkultra/mkultra
su
cp .libs/kwin3_mkultra.la /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/
cp .libs/kwin3_mkultra.so /opt/kde3/lib/kde3/
cp mkultra.desktop /opt/kde3/share/apps/kwin/
if your $KDEDIR is other than /opt/kde3 (you can check it with "echo $KDEDIR"), change the above commands accordingly.
i will try to find out, why you get this error anyway. what distro do you have? let me know if manual installation went fine!

i don't know why it still isn't part of kde, despite its popularity. it also has very good ratings here at kde-look.org.
i hope that everyone will enjoy using it.
