The qtcurve window decoration is missing in Plasma 5. This cripples the ability of the user to use all of the qtcurve features including the import of my qtcurve designs from KDE4. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select QtCurve 2. Navigate to window decorations 3. The QtCurve window decoration is missing Actual Results: The QtCurve window decoration is missing from the window decorations. The user cannot customize without the QtCurve window decoration in openSUSE Leap 42.1 Beta 1. Expected Results: The QtCurve window decoration is available for selection. The QtCurve window decoration is available for selection in KDE4. The user can customize their entire window decoration. We really need this as it is still missing in openSUSE Leap 42.1 Beta 1.
Status please
Created attachment 94973 [details] qtcurve window decoration from kde4 This is a screenshot of the missing qtcruve window decoration that appears in KDE4.
@Roman Bysh I'm not sure if this is being actively developed anymore... Might be worth raising an issue on Github ? https://github.com/QtCurve/qtcurve Although that now indicates it's hosted on the KDE infrastructure... https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/qtcurve ... which appears to have no activity Hopefully a developer will offer a response.
The person that this bug report was assigned to is one of two project maintainers.
It looks like Yichao Yu is the sole maintainer. However, it sounds like he could use some help considering that he has not yet responded to this bug report.
> However, it sounds like he could use some help considering that he has not yet responded to this bug report. As I replied to Roman's private email, I've switched to kf5 myself a few month ago and have just started to look at the kwin part recently. I'd definitely love some help (or pull request ;-p) but I should be able to get something ready in hopefully not too long time..
Any updates on progress?
Follow Up Status please. I would encourage others to download the master to see if it was fixed. Ref: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=qtcurve.git
No, it hasn't been fixed yet.
> Status please The status is that I was told the API change should be sane and therefore expecting relatively straightforward upgrade path and thought I could finish it relatively quickly. However, I've made a few attempt to do the upgrade but all of them failed since I couldn't really find any document (as of a few month ago at least) about the API change or the upgrade (in particular, there are a few component in the kwin4 decoration that I couldn't easily find a replacement in the new API). It would be helpful if anyone with the knowledge about the new API or the upgrade path to provide some document on those.
I will ask around on our openSUSE mail list. There must be a number of people that can help you out regarding the new API and upgrade path.

The qml file will describe the qtcurve window. http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmlapplications.html
I've tried running Qtcurve on Plasma 5 but I also ran into this problem: Is Qtcurve still under development to get it working with Plasma 5 ? any update regarding this issue would be highly appreciated.
Yes, it's still under development. No one seems to care about the deco right now though. Once you've customized your QtCurve config, you could just make an Aurorae style to go with it.
The person maintaining QtCurve is rewriting the kwin code in the qtcurve source code. So he couldn't give me a date for it this year. This is taking a very long time to finish and port the Window decoration to Plasma 5.10 Anybody out there that knows C++ really well. We just may need some one to help out the maintainer. Another option would be to create a fork for qtcurve=qt5 and finish it this year.
Thanks for the quick update. Hope you guys find somebody & be able to fix this. Would be nice to see Qtcurve working again :D
All I can offer is this skeleton decoration: http://skulpture.maxiom.de/playground/skeleton-0.1.tar.xz This was used to port the Smaragd decoration to the new API in a single day. If there are specfic questions, I can give specific answers.
