The core idea of the implementation is due to @RealezzZ and the files are based on Breeze Aurorae. The adaption for different styles and packaging is my work.

10 Great, it was exactly what I was looking for
10 10 the best
Thanks for awesome decorations. They are great. I was wondering whether it's possible to have accent border when window is maximized. Because what is happening is that when I use this theme and I maximize window there is no border at all(and since decoration doesn't have toolbar it is also missing). There is setting in KDE, that decides whether to hide TOOLBAR when window is maximized(not border) BorderlessMaximizedWindows=false Is it possible to have border shown even if window is maximized ?
I just updated the readme on github with additional troubleshooting suggestions.
9 Glad someone finally got some use out of Breeze Aurorae. Although, Spectrum Highlight does exist already. How about a 2px thin frame version?
Oh, I wasn't aware of its existence! Our themes are not exactly the same though; mine draws directly from the accent color whereas yours seems to use the selection color, which makes it slightly paler for light color schemes and dimmed for dark color schemse. So thy are not in direct competition anyway :)
Ha ha, don't worry about it—Spectrum has long since been buried in themes and won't be competing with anyone. Accent color works the way Highlight used to work. You should poke around Genome-Spectrum though. Aurorae actually allows for 8 button states, but I never got around to updating for it for Breeze Aurorae. Spectrum Highlight has it. It will give you the missing inactive button hover states. Also, I think you can add 2px support if you set the borders for left, right, and bottom to 2px. Then, when the size is set to Tiny, it will be 2px thin and be 4px size when it's Normal.
Thanks, I'll look into it.
Maintaining releases is tedios so don't want to add to the complexity of the existing five variants, especially with something as straightforwardly user-configurable as border sizes with Aurorae. If the drop-down in the system settings doesn't yield right-looking results, editing the rc file in the .local path should be easily doable.
And thank you of course for your work on the Breeze Aurorae theme! These window decorations wouldn't exist without it :)
BTW, in case you missed it, there has been a recent change that enables Aurorae designers to fix the Korner bug: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/t7vs0o/kwinaurorae_korner_bug_fixed_by_merged_solution/?utm_source=share
Thanks, I'm definitely excited about Plasma 25! Though I guess I've been excited about every release...
