I think it would be better, however, if the glow got slightly brighter and dimmer in a cyclic manner. It is a subtle effect that I think makes the system seem a bit more alive.

A lot of the GUI elements fade in and out as you hover over them. There is also a version for KDE4, but I still use Oxygen because it is not as configurable yet and I still need to figure out a nice color scheme for it.

So it's possible, just there are not many window-decos that use that. Primoz, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Nov.
