I found how to change the colors for the QtCurve theme.
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/darkPearl+for+QtCurve?content=97644
> To use this theme you will need to import the KDE4 color scheme found
in the package (System Settings->Appearance->Colors), then apply the
QtCurve config (System Settings->Appearance->Style->Select QtCurve as
the widget style->Configure->Options->Import).
Unfortunately I don't have that theme.
So I just installed these two:
Blue, looks integrates well with the taskbar
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Crystal?content=75140
Black looks nice, but...
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/deKorator?content=87921
Just download the source and
$> cd <theme directory>/build
$> cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix`
$> make
(as root or use sudo)
$> make install
then, as user, you might want to restart kwin to test the new themes.
$> kwin --replace
Now the new themes can be chosen from the system settings > appearance >
windows > windows decoration
This is what I would like to have found, so I'm writing it down for the
next...
