Kwin gradient often doesn't match application gradient (look on screenshot), it just doesn't look good. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I don't know, maybe something it's wrong with my KDE config? Actual Results: Gradient doesn't match Expected Results: Gradient should be nice This happens only to wide windows

Can't reproduce ... could you post: - your kde version - your kdeglobals file (from the same directory as kwinrc) Also, I have no idea where this "BlendTitlebarColors[$d]" line comes from in your oxygenrc file. Nothing like this in oxygen's code. What version of oxygen are you actually using ? (both for the window decoration and the widget style ?) (for the record, the said "gradient" is oxygen, not kwin)
oh and in "system settings -> workspace appearance -> window decordation -> configure decoration", click the second tab (fine tuning), and select "follow style hint", rather than "radial gradient". That should help for some gtk applications.

My KDE version is 4.9 The problem occurs in KDE 4.9 and 4.7.x. On 4.8.x there was other problem wit gradient but it could be easily fixed by entering workspace appearance every time after system reboot. I'm using standard oxygen theme, but it occurs also on other color themes. I don't know where i can check oxygen version. > Nothing like this in oxygen's code.

Created attachment 72952 [details] Nice gradient in non-wide windows
Look at last attachment, on non-wide windows everything looks nice
> I'm using standard oxygen theme, but it occurs also on other color themes. I don't know where i can check oxygen version. I'm not talking about color theme. Rather window decoration style, and widget style. Also, how wide is wide (in numbers of pixels)
Well, my window decoration style is just oxygen, it's default theme. My widget style is also oxygen. The only thing i changed is desktop style to slim glow. I turned on kwin "window geometry" effect and noticed that when window is wider than 600 pixels, then gradient is messed up. When it's less than 600 pixels gradient looks nice.
Probably temporary way to fix this is to kill plasma-desktop (run xkill and click on kde panel). After plasma auto-reload gradient looks nice again.
ok. Thanks for the info. That is weird, cause I definitely can have windows larger than 600 px without the bug you mention ... will see in my code what's special about this number :)
oh And I have zero clue what plasma has to do with this and how restarting it could change anything on the window decoration. (kwin and plasma are two different things and as a matter of fact, kwin can run without plasma). What happens if you just *kill* plasma, and not restart it, but move existing windows around ? resizing them etc ?
I was wrong, reloading plasma didn't help at all. It was just a coincidence.
