Description Martin Flöser 2012-05-01 07:29:49 UTC 
The following window decorations should be removed:
* plastik
* BII
* laptop

Reasons are discussed on mailing list and review request.
Comment 1 David 2013-01-21 19:49:17 UTC 
Oh no! I use B II on everything because I like the way I can use maximized windows like they were tabs.  I hope someone can make a clone I can install.
Comment 2 Kasper Sandberg 2013-03-13 18:05:07 UTC 
I am using plastik, and would prefer it to remain
Comment 3 Thomas Lübking 2013-03-13 18:19:21 UTC 
plastik has been replaced by a QML implementation - visually remains but not as legacy implementation.

    [kwin] Remove b2 and laptop window decorations
    
    They have been unmaintained for a long time and nobody stepped up to
    port them to the changes in the decoration API. If at some time someone
    wants to bring them back it's still in the git history.
