MKUltra is a lightweight native KWin style derived from the minimalist and excellent Web style.
MKUltra ought to appeal to those out there who aren't impressed by super complex alpha-blended reflective throbbing multithreaded aqua clones/alternatives.
Note -- MKUltra respects your choice of window titlebar colors, and actually looks good when window shaded!
Another note -- like the Web style, MKUltra doesn't provide much area for grabbing window corners to resize them. This doesn't bother me, since I always use alt-RMB to resize my windows. Try it, you'll like it!

Version 0.2.1 -- Made fixes to allow compilation under newer versions of GCC than mine (2.95.3) -- if it works for you right now don't bother downloading this one, on the other hand if you got errors compiling it and have gcc 2.96 or 3.x try this one out.
Version 0.2 -- I realized the default button color (black) was no good for dark titlebar color configurations. Now, the buttons are colored to match the font color for the titlebar. Nothing big, I did it just now on returning from work. See third screenshot.
Version 0.1 -- Unless I get bug reports, it will probably be the last, as I wrote it last night to scratch an itch and take a break from a large software project.

try ./configure --help to be certain.
Fact is, the automake scripts worked on my system, and the configure script they made worked on my system. In theory, all should be well, but I've experienced unhappiness on other systems (I run gentoo).

# tar xzf mkultra-0.1.tar.zg
# cd mkultra
# ./configure
# make
# su
# make install
If it doesn't build, send me a copy-n-pasting of the output.
Then, open the control center, go to Window Decoration, and pick MKUltra.
