Here is a good full screen snapshot example of the Window Border Size being Huge and can't be change back to Normal size or any other size.

SUMMARY

I am currently using KDE Plasma Version 5.12.8, which was included with OpenSUSE Leap 15.0 Distribution. There seems to be an issue I am having with adjusting the Window Border Size in the Configure Desktop when the OSX_Aurorae theme by Andi Berger, (abgr), from Vienna, Austria. Window Border Size defaults to "Huge" size and can't be changed unless selecting a different theme, such as the KDE Plasma default Breeze theme.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Go into the Configure Desktop > System Settings > Application Style > Window Decorations > Look and Feel of Window Titles.

2. Click on the "Get New Decorations..." button to bring up the System Settings Add-On Installer window.

3. In the Search field, type in: OSX_Aurorae and the OSX_Aurorae theme should appear in the list of themes. Note: at the bottom left of this window, I get a red X with a message which says: "Unknown Open Collaboration Service API error. (405). Now click on the "Install" button associated with the OSX_Aurorae theme to install it and then click on the "Close" button.

4. Now click on the OSX_Aurorae theme graphic example in the Look and Feel of Window Titles. Then either click on the Wrench icon or the Border Size button to select the desired border size, such as "Tiny". Note: the "Apply" button is grayed out as though it was disabled, but click on the "Apply" button anyway to apply the OSX_Aurorae theme setting.

OBSERVED RESULT

The border size of the Look and Feel of Window Titles window suddenly changes to huge and will not change from huge, unless you select a different theme such as the Breeze theme, etc.

EXPECTED RESULT

The window border size should change to the size selected from either clicking on the Wrench icon in the OSX_Aurorae theme graphic example or clicking on the Border Size button in the lower right corner of the Look and Feel of Window Titles window, then click on the "Apply" button.

Does it happen with all auroras themes?

Yes! Also, it messes up the Configure Desktop utility to where I have to close it and re-open it to change the window theme.

So, the apply button stays gray even though you picked a different decoration theme?

Correct! Also, I noticed since I changed to a different window theme, the kwin program keeps crashing when I resize any window by dragging the window border. Oddly if I selected and apply either the Breeze or the OSX_Aurorae theme, kwin does not crash for some reason when I resize any window.

Did you mean Oxygen?

Actually both Breeze and Oxygen themes seem to work ok as far as being able to adjust the window border size and window size.

I cannot reproduce this bug on my computer.

This can be either some issue on your machine/user account (one way to verify whether that's indeed the case: create a new user account and see if the issue is present) or "unknown" bug in Plasma 5.12.

Also, it would be helpful if you could check whether this issue is present in recent Plasma releases.

Well, over this weekend I created a new user account and configured the desktop all over from scratch using the configure desktop tool, which came with openSUSE Leap 15.0 and KDE Plasma version 5.12.8. When I did the following steps:

1. I went into the Configure Desktop > System Settings > Application Style > Window Decorations > Look and Feel of Window Titles.

2. I clicked on the "Get New Decorations..." button to bring up the System Settings Add-On Installer window.

3. In the Search field, I typed in: OSX_Aurorae and the OSX_Aurorae theme should appear in the list of themes. Note: at the bottom left of this window, I get a red X with a message which says: "Unknown Open Collaboration Service API error. (405)", same as in my previous users account. I then clicked on the "Install" button associated with the OSX_Aurorae theme to install it and then I clicked on the "Close" button.

4. I now clicked on the OSX_Aurorae theme graphic example in the Look and Feel of Window Titles. I tried either clicking on the Wrench icon or the Border Size button to select the desired border size, such as "Normal". Note: the "Apply" button is grayed out as though it was disabled, but click on the "Apply" button anyway to apply the OSX_Aurorae theme setting.

OBSERVED RESULT

The results were the same as with my previous user account. The border size of the Look and Feel of Window Titles window suddenly changes to huge and would not change from huge, unless I select a different theme such as the Breeze theme, Oxygen, etc. However, kwin doesn't seem to be crashing like it was in the other user account.

EXPECTED RESULT

The window border size should change to the size selected from either clicking on the Wrench icon in the OSX_Aurorae theme graphic example or clicking on the Border Size button in the lower right corner of the Look and Feel of Window Titles window, then click on the "Apply" button.

I don't know if the "Unknown Open Collaboration Service API error. (405)" whole problem because it's happening with other style themes that are downloaded.

This bug was reported against an outdated version of KWin. We have made many changes since the. 
If the issue persists in newer versions can you reopen the bug report updating the version number.
