I know this is silly. I already filed a wish in KDE4 times which was resolved as WONTFIX. After hours and hours searching it I was unable to find it so I am opening a new one.

I know that you guys even managed to release a KDE1 desktop compiled against a modern Linux, so I know that I have hopes ;)

i like the latest and greatest technology, but I also love the look of KDE1 and specifically the KDE1 window decoration, which I find awesome. Right now I have all the tools that I need to emulate a KDE1 desktop window look (the Qt Win95 widget set) but the window decoration is sorely missing.

If you even managed to port KDE1, would you PLEASE add a KDE1 windeco so we could enjoy Plasma and KDE in all its retro glory?

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

KWin developers will not add any decorations. Someone could create an Aurorae theme that matches the KDE1 decorations.

Ouch!
Ok... thank you then. Sorry for disturbing you.
