nice and clean i want buttons only on hover but i don't know a damn thing about C++ or qt design
Thanks

I would suggest you try using QtCurve's kwin theme. You can tweak it through QtCurve's style configuration dialog, which has a number of options for configuring the window buttons.

You can also try using the Aurorae Designer application (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=122763) to edit an existing Aurorae kwin theme if you can't get what you want through QtCurve's settings.

Thanks for your respond the Aurore Designer was so close but there is no "Window Spesific Overrides" and i can't see from where to change the buttons... what are they... some code or just bitmap i donwload "compact air" theme and tryed to edit it but also can't get rid of transperent background so is there a way to just to change the buttons of the original non-aurorae oxygen
Ok i just settings up the original kde oxygen and remove all buttons them make it close windows with middle button on the mouse double click maximize, minimize from taskbar and all other actions are in the operation menu with right click i guess i got accustom but that's fine...
Kde kick as*

It looks like the aurorae files are all just SVGs, including the main decoration itself. The theme files are stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/aurorae/themes and /usr/share/kde4/apps/aurorae/themes.

Of course I would suggest you try out QtCurve first, because I'm pretty sure you can get the effect that you showed without having to edit images.

As for editing Oxygen's style, I'm pretty sure that's all c++ code.

Well its easy to edit the svgz.s but then i can't make some apps like chromium-brouser, google-chrome, rekonq, smplayer, umpayer and other to have no side border well i will try it in the end this is too much what i want kde is still cool
sorry for the bad english
"EDIT"
Well i manage to create my own theme i'm amazed of Kde but the aurorae theme are pretty heavy... the windows get laggy so i will stick to the original oxygen and will use mouse actions intead of border buttons

@floopy1962 - try Smaragd.
Smaragd is a kwin decoration engine which allows you to use Emerald theme files. A lot of them can be found at KDE-look and deviantART.
Also, creating an emerald theme is so easy
