Breeze2000

Breeze2000 is a fork of KDE Breeze decoration that aims to look like Windows 2000 with the gradients while preserving the main look of Breeze.

The following description is mainly copied from SierraBreeze.

Dependencies

There are some dependencies you'll need to install. Some people suggested using the following commands:

Ubuntu

sudo apt install extra-cmake-modules cmake gettext libkf5config-dev libkdecorations2-dev libqt5x11extras5-dev qtdeclarative5-dev libkf5guiaddons-dev libkf5configwidgets-dev libkf5windowsystem-dev libkf5coreaddons-dev

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S kdecoration qt5-declarative qt5-x11extras    # Decoration
sudo pacman -S cmake extra-cmake-modules                    # Installation

Installation

In order to install the theme and add it to your decorations do the following:

git clone https://github.com/alex47/Breeze2000
cd Breeze2000
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DKDE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON
sudo make install

To avoid logging out, issue

kwin_x11 --replace &

That is it! Your new decoration theme should appear in Settings → Application Style → Window Decorations.
