OK i would not like to cahge the shape or global look off the window as an 
hole, the changing pallete is until now the best idea, i might be ok with 
kwin doing somthing similar but it would need to be smoth no flickering 
aswell, same goes to the difrent pallete idea.
So can we make that ????
or... should i just toss the no windeck look out by the window,  i prefer to 
not hhave that to making 2 difrent styles of window, text chaging color is 
ok, but im sure not enough...
