### Window Manager <a name="wm"></a>
To install the window decoration, move the file:
The KWin decoration theme comes in two parts: The decoration theme itself and a KWin effect for the caption button glow effect. Both components can be found in the following directory:
```
$ ./KWin/smaragd_bin/kwin_smaragd.so
$ ./KWin/smod_kwin_theme/
```
to:
To compile the components, run the following:
```
# /usr/lib/qt/plugins/org.kde.kdecoration2/
```
The window decoration requires an Emerald theme to be present as well. To install the theme, move the following directory (If it doesn't appear, enable viewing hidden files):
```
$ ./KWin/.emerald/
```
to the home directory.
Smaragd reads the theme from the ```theme``` subfolder and ```settings.ini``` config file. If you want to use the Vista-sized caption buttons, rename the ```themevista``` subfolder and ```settingsvista.ini``` into the aforementioned names.
To apply the window decoration, go to ```System settings -> Appearance -> Window Decorations``` and select Smaragd.
#### Compiling instructions
Compiling Smaragd on Arch Linux requires a few dependencies to be installed on the system:
- cmake
- cairo
- glib2
- kdebase-runtime
- kdelibs 4.14.x
The last two dependencies are provided in this repository as prebuilt Arch packages. The package `kdebase-runtime` doesn't exist anymore for Arch, not even the AUR, so the only place to find it outside of this repository is through [this](https://archive.org/details/archlinux_pkg_kdebase-runtime) link. The package `kdelibs` can be installed through the AUR, however it isn't recommended as compiling the package takes very long, and as of right now, building the package seems to fail. Distributions like Debian might be better in terms of offering legacy packages.
To compile Smaragd from the terminal:
```bash
cd smaragd-0.1.1
mkdir build #You can delete the build directory that already exists, or use a different name
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kf5-config --prefix` ..
make
sudo make install
$ sh build-decoration.sh
$ sh install-decoration.sh
$ sh build-effect.sh
$ sh install-effect.sh
```
If compiling multiple times, only the last step is required. Steps 1-4. are for setting the environment up for the first time.
To see the changes after compiling and setting Smaragd in the System Settings, simply restart KWin.
Log out of the Plasma session or restart KWin, and go to ```System Settings -> Appearance -> Window Decorations``` and select SMOD. In the settings for SMOD, set the shadow size to small.
To enable caption button glow, go to ```System Settings -> Desktop Effects``` and enable the SMOD Window Buttons effect.

### SDDM <a name="sddm"></a>
To install the SDDM theme, move the following folder:

$ ./Plasma/SDDM/sddm-theme-smod
