[SOLVED] any way to get borders in kde?
sorry if this is slightly offtopic... but anyone knows any way to get colored borders on KDE? I use focus follow mouse and borders are really helpful to know where i'm typing.
i used tw ways until v5
- irix/motif like window decoration, but those are broken now and i don't feel like porting them (yet).
- Then there was an option to add color to windows titles which also added colors to border. that was perfect. But now that option changes the color of the content of the windows and everything becomes extremely bright colored even on the dark theme.

Under colors & themes you have window decoration options. If you pick Oxygen (for example), you can edit it and under Shadows you can pick the colors and sizes.

Isn´t that just to make the corners rounded?

It is, but also offers extensive customization options. You can control not just the corner radius, but also border thickness, color, transparency, second border etc.
