Grover is a window decoration for KDE. It has taken inspiration from a variety of sources tempered with a bit of originality. The design goals for Grover are to be functional but not drab, and aesthetic but not distracting.

Just wanted to say that this windec RULES! Hands down, the best one available - nice to see something more sharp and "techie"... I'm tired of KDE always looking so goofy.
This goes great with the Graphite icons and the Light Style 3rd rev widget style.
Beers!

The problem is that it complains that I don't have autoconfig 2.5+ installed which I have (2.57a).
Any suggestions what to do?

In the meantime, go into your ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals file and manually add frame, inactiveFrame, handle and inactiveHandle to the WM section. Then you'll get custom colors.

One suggestion: perhaps the buttons could be bigger?
Otherwise, really great! I can't wait for the Grover style.

If it's not too much trouble, an option to not have a border (that solid black line along the edges) would also be nice. IMHO, drop shadows look better without them.

Strange, I'm getting a failure during make when it goes to create the images.h. I evidently do not have 'qembed' installed, but I have the QT3.1 dev sources installed. Is that something to do with QT-embedded? I hope I don't need to install that to get this nice windec. :)
Any ideas?

One possibility is that it is installed, but not in your default path. Use your package tool to see where Qt was installed. When you find qembed, add its location to your PATH variable before you run make.
p.s. Are there enough distros out there that have this problem that this would become a big issue? If it's only a couple of them, I could put some notes in the INSTALL file.

RH 9.0 does not seem to have qembed anywhere, though I did find a qembed.cpp file in the Tools subdir of the qt-devel, but attempts to compile it failed and I did not have too much time to monkey with it.
But big thanks for creating the image.h for us. This windec looks as good as I thought it would. :)

Well, since this is obviously going to be a major problem with a lot of users, I'm going to have to upload a new version of Grover with a premade images.h file.
