Description: This is a modified b2 decoration, in the spirit of Fitz using the Example decoration FAQ for the install part It is only a hack, but I hope someone is willing to turn it into something beautiful. Still I use it daily.
I hope the original Authors don't mind my hacking.Last changelog:
imho the idea is very cool, pity most apps don't really support losing part of their visible window. but if you DO have a menubar on top of the window (and not the mac-os-like) your windec DOES work! at least it does here :D its very buggy, crashes now and then, and it does not look very well, but again - it works. and i like it. it saves space for usefull things like more kicker panels :D so please - if you can fix the bugs... it'd be great! (here, the app icon and the close button don't fit (and the buttons look ugly). also, there are many artefacts on the windowborders)
Glad you liked it. Does crash at all on my pc:( I will try to address the design and other issues when I have time == after exams and vacations == second half of july:(

Hi, The idea is cool, work out until its completed.
imho the idea is very cool, pity most apps don't really support losing part of their visible window. but if you DO have a menubar on top of the window (and not the mac-os-like) your windec DOES work! at least it does here :D its very buggy, crashes now and then, and it does not look very well, but again - it works. and i like it. it saves space for usefull things like more kicker panels :D so please - if you can fix the bugs... it'd be great! (here, the app icon and the close button don't fit (and the buttons look ugly). also, there are many artefacts on the windowborders)
