The current theme manager already supports styles and window decorations 
somewhat, that is, the theme can specify a certain style or window 
decoration. Unfortunately it isn't possible to _include_ a specific style or 
window decoration, since that would mean including compiled code.

As far as window decorations go, there is the pixmapped base icewm window 
decoration engine. I think it would make sense to make that KDE's pixmapped 
based window decoration of choice. I don't think icewm themes are fully 
supported by the theme manager at the moment.

I'm not sure if there is a good pixmapped based widget style available at the 
moment. If there is it would make sense to add support for it in the theme 
manager.

Cheers,
Waldo
