A KDE window decoration fork with enhanced customization options for title-bar appearance and button behavior.
BreezeEnhanced is a modified version of the KDE Breeze window decoration that provides enhanced customization options for KDE Plasma desktop environments. It extends the original Breeze decoration with additional configuration settings for title-bar appearance, button styling, and visual effects. The project solves the need for more granular control over window decoration aesthetics in KDE Plasma.
KDE Plasma users who want more customization options for their window decorations, particularly those who use Kvantum themes or want macOS-style window buttons. Linux desktop enthusiasts looking to fine-tune their desktop appearance.
Developers choose BreezeEnhanced over the standard Breeze decoration because it offers significantly more customization options for title-bar appearance and button behavior while maintaining full compatibility with KDE Plasma. Its independent font settings and extended exception properties provide flexibility not available in the original decoration.
