Woo, my pet peeve: make gtk+ draw decorations already! I did a C proto-type a couple of years ago, it’s over here:

http://people.freedesktop.org/~krh/alta.git/

and I wrote down a list of pros and cons of the approach here:

http://people.freedesktop.org/~krh/client-side-decorations.txt

As we start to do more animations and advanced theming, splitting the visual appearance of a window between two independent apps doesn’t work. Yes, we *could* defined wm protocols and window properties out the wazoo to cover entry fields in the title bar, side panes sliding out from the side of the window, but the fast path to these features is to move the decorations to gtk+.

Let me be the first to say: Ooooh, shiny.

Anonymous: I think you’ve come in halfway through a conversation here. The discussion is about whether GTK should be responsible for decorating window frames, or whether Metacity should. If GTK was in charge of doing so, there’s no reason it shouldn’t support everything Metacity currently supports.

Love it! I suggest adding some padding to the text area.

So does that mean the idea of shading windows is now gone?
