Initial code import from https://www.trinity-look.org/p/1100374. As per note on the website, the code has been abandoned. There is no license file in the source code, but given the package was available on the KDE3 store back in the days, it is reasonable to assume it was distributed under GPL2 license

+INTRODUCTION
+============
+	First, a word about Fahrenheit. The theme, like its namesake, is 
+not meant to be the final word in practicality or usability. Think about 
+it: why hasn't the US switched to Celcius, a much more practical and 
+usable temperature scale? It makes much more sense to base a temperature 
+scale around water (since so much of life literally revolves around 
+water). Just what is 0°F and 100°F anyways? It makes no sense at all, 
+other than the inertia of tradition.
+	Fahrenheit the theme is much the same way, except that it lacks 
+the temperture scale's inertia, but it also looks (in the author's 
+opinion) more visually interesting than the standard square box. Be it 
+the lickable OSX or the crayola WinXP, the fact remains that even by 
+rounding out the corners, most window decorations are hopelessly mired in 
+squareville. Now, there are good reasons for square. Square is usable. 
+Square is practical. Square is comforting and familiar, like a teddy 
+bear that's gotten the stuffing squeezed out of it. But square is also 
+boring, overdone, and, like week-old leftovers, there's only so much you 
+can do with it before you get sick of turkey sandwiches and turkey 
+quiche and turkey omlettes and cream of turkey soup.
+	To relieve my boredom, there's Fahrenheit. That's right, this is 
+about _me_. If you like it, you're more than welcome to use it. If you 
+don't, then forget about it. It's not for you. Go back to squaredom. I 
+don't care. Yes, this violates Fitt's law in obscene and unthinkable 
+ways. The buttons may be too small, but then, I have fine motor control 
+and don't find it a problem in the least. I find it usable; therefore, 
+it is usable for me. It wastes space with all the funky curves and bars. 
+Well, my monitor is 1400x1050, so I've got space to waste.
+
+COMPILING
+=========
+A straight-forward affair; read the INSTALL file for more details, but 
+the following ought to be enough:
+1) make -f Makefile.cvs
+2) ./configure
+	(Depending on your system, you may need to add '--prefix=/usr' 
+and if it can't find the location of the Qt libs and includes, those as 
+well. './configure --help' will tell you what you need to know.)
+3) make
+4) (as root) make install
+
+If you have problems compiling, make sure that you have the necessary 
+KDE development files installed. And before complaining that you can't 
+compile, read through the discussions for other KDE 3.2 borders. There 
+is a 99.9% chance that your problem already has a long and glorious 
+precedent set by others. 
+
+COLORS
+======
+	There are six color settings that you will want to play with 
+in the Control Panel:Appearances & Themes:Colors dialog. These are:
+- Active Title Bar
+- Inactive Title Bar
+- Active Window Frame
+- Inactive Window Frame
+- Active Window Handle
+- Inactive Window Handle
+	The title bar and window frame colors should be self-evident. 
+Less obviously, however, are the window handle settings. This changes 
+the color of the grip lines in the upper-right hand corner of the frame. 
+
+THANKS
+======
+	Inspiration: Fahrenheit was inspired by the mock-up screenshots 
+of a hypothetical future BeOS window border, GonX. See the screenshots 
+at http://cotito.free.fr/projects/.
+	David Johnson on the kwin mailing list was of great help to me 
+while writing this decoration. His Example decoration 
+(http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=6332) is also a great 
+framework for creating new decorations as well.
