[Download RAW message or body]

*** downloading the source
kdebase-3.3.0.tar.bz2 download+extract
cd kdebase-3.3.0
./configure


*** apply the diff below

*** Compiling
cd kwin/lib         (this step must be performed, otherwise some libs are missing)
make

cd kwin/client/quartz/             (the quartz sources are in this directory)
make
make install (this installes just kwin3_quartz.la)

*** Test

(re-)start kde
control-center>window decorations>quartz

Remark: I use it together with Adobe Helvetica 10 as font, and found it looks very good (not too
small) with the parameters in the patch.

******************************************************************************

Perhaps somebody can integrate this patch into the main kde line. This would provide smaller
titlebars, something that is IMHO needed in some form (See KDE bug ...., etc).
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74967

For integration, I suggest adding a checkbox in the control center-module, like this:

[ ] quartz extra slim

(without a check you would get the normal quartz)
