Well, I thought that it might be easier for the user to select the one decoration that is called "Wide borders" than to go through the list and find the one(s) that allow to specify a large border width. Additionally I am not sure if we want to have these wide borders added to all decoration styles (we are talking here about borders up to 30 or 40 pixels wide). The only decoration style that currently allows to change the border width is the CDE decoration style from kdeartwork, but there title bar buttons might not be easy to read for people with visual impairments. Other decoration styles that have a clear separation between the border and the contents of the window (which is needed when we use wide borders) are KDE2, Keramik, Laptop and Quarts, so if we decide to make changes to these five decoration styles I would be happy. An other question is whether we allow the user to specify at which sides of the window he wants to have those wide borders (as those wide borders take screen space, the user might want to have the resize-borders only e.g. at the left and at the bottom of a window).
