Previously, there was a UI setting to change not only the boolean outline on/off, but also to choose from several settings. The config-option in breezerc is still valid, but... without UI, we cannot set other values (or: where can i find the allowed-setting strings?)

The outline value is now controlled by your colorscheme, so it didn't make sense to have it there too. Open colorscheme settings and on first tab you will see "contrast" percentage modifier. (If not, maybe you need to update, it's rather new change).
i tried the 'new' setting, but the result is disappointing: Setting the contrast also affects all other 'outlines' (like buttons and the like) Previously, we could just manipulate the faint line around the window (exclusively!) without side-effects on other parts of the UI. I think, the old approach was clearly better. Can't we have best of both worlds?
What is your usecase for having them separate? To me it makes more sense to have them all being uniform value. (I am not opposed adding it back. I just rather have less code than more code to keep things maintainable. :) )
my usecase is/was simple: enabling the 'draw window outline' in breeze window decorations. The bright white (default) outline was never to my taste - too much visibility, so i set it to 'outline maximum'. This had the nice effect of the outline being visible but not 'disturbing' (esp. terminal windows/konsole does profit) Right now, when i set the same appearance on the color-settings, i need a value of ~60%. And that is way too much because all other ui elements get 'contrasted' in the same way (buttons, separators etc) I did switch off the window outline right now and have contrast set to default 20% Still, i'm missing the separate setting for the window-outline This really adds getting the 'border' of konsole, especially if it's on top of a dark window (like vscode). Even more so, when window shadows are set to black... I understand your point regarding code. But i think, contrast and window outline should be seen as different parts. Contrast is for setting ui visibility, window outline is 'helping getting the borders' of a window (if you have a cluttered desktop)
To me, it sounds like you would like to theme something, and less like a bug. If you would like to make very precise changes to how window decorations look, it might make more sense to create an Aurorae theme: https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/aurorae/ Not 100% sure, but I'd assume your requirements can be met with by an aurorae theme.
thank you for the URL to themeing I think this is beyond the 'bug' status initially assumed. Let's close this (resolution is as indicated moved to colors/contrast settings) Maybe you can offer a split-setting, contrast and window outline (maybe if i ask veeery gently :-) ) Anyway, thanks for the help
