This theme collection uses smaragd, a KWin decoration engine that essentially uses emerald themes for its

decorations. While this has enabled Kwin to get a very detailed and close feeling of the Aero visual style,

it's not perfect. The decorations look a bit weird when maximised, especially when out of focus, but this is

There's a widget called Show Desktop (Win7) (https://store.kde.org/p/1100895/) which implements a Windows 7-like
|
||||
Show desktop button, with a working Aero Peek. Of course, though, the Aero peek animation depends on KDE's
|
||||
settings. KDE comes with two animations for this effect, however neither one really accomplishes the Aero effect,
|
||||
so this is something that is left to be desired. Aero shake to my knowledge is also not a thing, but in all honesty

I've always found it to be a niche feature, so it's not a real priority to recreate.
