If you wish to draw your decorations +use as few shades as possible, then use kpixmap2bitmap in kdegraphics +to convert them into individual bitmaps. Once this is done you can +draw the bitmaps using a colorgroup with kColorBitmaps. + +If your client is just a set of pixmaps that doesn't follow any of the options +I suggest you make a KWM theme so the user gets those options to +configure the pixmaps and look. Making a plain pixmapped dedicated style +makes no sense since it is less configurable than KWM themes and cannot follow +client plugin options. + +B) You must follow at least the color settings in the Options class. + +Daniel M.
