Curiously, switching from the non-decoration state back to a theme like KDE 2 or modern system corrects the issue. I am then able to switch between themes that would normally trigger the bug. So, for example: 1) Switch to air-oxygen 2) Decorations disappear 3) Switch to modern desktop 4) Decorations are back 5) Switch to gaia-recycled (no issue) 6) Switch to air-oxygen (bug reappears) I do not think it is limited to GHNS themes -- perhaps those that use transparency? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Switch to a theme like air-oxygen 2. Switch to another theme like gaia-recycled Actual Results: Window decorations disappears Expected Results: Window decorations should switch cleanly. qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin supportInformation KWin Support Information: The following information should be used when requesting support on e.g. http://forum.kde.org.

Created attachment 77690 [details] no decoration effect
It so far rather sounds as if specific to "air-oxygen". Could you reproduce it with *any* other decoration?
It also triggers when switching from ElementaryLuna, Ghost-Deco 2.2, Chrome, Perfection...
Not "from" - "to". Does it happen if you switch *to* anything but air-oxygen?
Indeed, it also happen when switching to any of the aforementioned themes as well.
Does it happen with xrender compositing (and/or the native graphicssystem)
It still happens with xrender/native composting.
The problem is inside the aurorae engine. When you switch from one aurorae theme to another, there's no longer any decoration. Not related to compositing, it's not a visual thing at all.
I suspect "mgr->destroyPreviousPlugin();" will destroy the aurorae plugin being still the same as used (singleton factory?)
Nope, this: m_engine->rootContext()->setContextProperty("auroraeTheme", m_theme); somehow fails - i get file:///usr/share/apps/kwin/aurorae/aurorae.qml:166: Unable to assign [undefined] to QColor color for every auroraeTheme attribute accessed in aurorae.qml or AuroraeButton.qml
