## Window Decorations

This module allows you to select a style for the buttons and borders around the windows.

### Window Decorations

Window Decoration Configuration Module Window Decoration Configuration Module

Choose a window decoration style from the preview list, or download a new style using the Get New Window Decorations button.

The default window decoration is called Breeze.

Each style has a different look, but also a different feel. Some have (sometimes invisible) resize borders all around the edge, which make resizing easier but moving more difficult. Some have no borders on certain edges.

You are encouraged to experiment with the different styles until you find one which best suits your pattern of work.

In the preview of each style you find a configure button to open configuration dialogs for the decoration.

The options in this configuration dialog are applied to all windows. Some window decorations (&eg; Breeze) provide a Window-Specific Overrides tab. On this tab you can change the border size and the visibility of the window titlebar for particular windows.

Different options for particular windows you find in the &systemsettings; module Window Rules.

For accessibility purposes, some window decorations support extra wide borders. If this is available, you can also choose a Window border size here. The large borders are easier to see for low vision users, and easier to grab for people with limited mobility or difficulty using a mouse.

If you are interested in creating your own window decoration, you can learn more about it in this tutorial.
