Plasma Window Decorations cde classic kde1 kite motif

Classik theme for Aurorae. Designed to have icons like the default classic KDE1 icons (Motif/CDE-like), yet refreshed with Breeze-like style. I believe these titlebar icons are more visually descriptive than the Breeze titlebar icons.
- Classik is designed to complement the Breeze Twilight global theme with the original Breeze colour scheme (albeit with the Breeze colour scheme modified to have a darker #31363b active titlebar).
- Classik-Light is designed to complement the Breeze Light colour scheme.
- Classik-Dark is designed to complement the Breeze Dark colour scheme.
Hover colours are inherited from Plasma system colours.
NB: this Window Decoration will display differently on LoDPI and HiDPI screens -- the defaults were selected to try and compromise between both. On my 250% scaled HiDPI screen I find the titlebar a bit large so I edit ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes/Classik/Classikrc and decrease the defaults (15) to the following values or smaller:
PaddingTop=14
PaddingBottom=14
PaddingLeft=14
PaddingRight=14
If you have a LoDPI 100% scaled screen, or a 200% scaled screen, you will get a strange translucent border and may find the titlebar too small (or even corrupted) so may wish increase these values instead to 16-18 (18 stops all corruption with no borders set).
The border size can then be adjusted accordingly in the Window Decorations settings dialogue. In order to get the Light or Dark themes to integrate with the "tools area" you need to set borders to "no borders".
For a similar window decoration see "Kite".

This is a very good theme but I don't think this is even remotely similar to KDE1.

Plasma does not currently allow Aurorae themes to use the system colour scheme for the titlebar and border. I have requested that they allow this in the future.

In the meantime you can manually edit the ~/.local/share/aurorae/themes/Classik/decoration.svg file with a text editor. To change the active window titlebar colour search and replace "#31363b" with the colour of your choice. To change the inactive window titlebar colour search and replace "#eff0f1" with the colour of your choice.
