+
+<para>This module allows you to select a style for the borders around
+windows.</para>
+
+<para>Each style has a different look, but also a different
+<quote>feel</quote>. Some have (sometimes invisible)
+<quote>resize</quote> borders all around the edge, which make resizing
+easier but moving more difficult. Some have no borders on certain
+edges. One (<quote>BII</quote>) even has a dynamically sized and
+positioned title element.</para>
+
+<para>You are encouraged to experiment with the different styles until
+you find one which best suits your pattern of work.</para>
+
+<para>Choose a window decoration style from the drop down box at the
+top of the screen to see a preview of it in the lower pane.</para>
+
+<para>If there are any configurable options for the theme you chose on
+the first page, they will become available below the preview...</para>
+
+<!--
+<para>In particular, if you chose to use the IceWM theme, you can choose
+here which of the many IceWM themes to use. The IceWM theme has
+instructions on the page as to where you should copy the theme files,
+and once this is done, you can simply select the theme you want to
+use.</para>

+<title>Buttons</title>
+
+<para>This page has instructions directly on it - just drag around the
+buttons until you have the order that makes you comfortable.</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>Not all the window decorations are able to comply with your custom
+set button order. The ones that cannot are being converted, but at the
+time of this release they have not been all been changed.</para>
+</note>
+
+<para>Apart from choosing the window decoration itself, you can choose
+here two further options: If there should be a tooltip while you hover
+your mouse over a window decoration button, and if the window
+decoration should attempt to use a custom set button order.</para>
+
+<tip>
+<para>The tooltips can be quite useful if you have set a custom button
+order, and then changed to an unfamiliar window decoration.</para>
+</tip>
+
+<tip>
+<para>For accessibility purposes, some window decorations support
+extra wide borders. If this is available, you can also choose a
+border size here. These large borders are easier to see for low
+vision users, and easier to grab for people with limited mobility or
+difficulty using a mouse.</para>
