.. so it will be good and fast enough to become the default theme engine for kde 4.4

# it definitely needs to blur out the background when a transparent theme is choosen.
# it needs more configuration options like border width
# customized buttons like "keep above" have to work like they do in oxygen

This is five separate ideas. However, none of these ideas are valid. "Make it better and faster" is not specific enough to be helpful. Aurorae will not become the default theme engine at least during KDE 4, so this will be marked as wontfix. Border width cannot be configured when using svgs to begin with, so this would be wontfix. And the problem with the button is a bug, not a feature request.

hehe..i see that my request (another "idea") for stricter idea validation was already taken into account ^^

oke.. thx.. do you know if there are any plans to get the default windowdecoration more flexible, looking more integrated into the plasma themes or anything in that direction?

ps: so "add blur effect to aurorae windowdecoration engine" would be somehow valid?

As I said in your other idea, this is not anything new. We do enforce those rules.

The default window decoration will be more flexible in KDE 4.4, but it will not integrate with plasma themes.

Oh, yeah, I forgot about blur. Blur is a compositing effect which is handled by kwin. However, it did not work well so it has been removed until it can be fixed. Aurorae cannot support it because kwin does not support it, so that idea is not valid either.
