What do you mean by `custom window decoration'? Do you mean the title bar that the window manager puts on every window? Or do you mean scrollbars, buttons, etc., that are inside every application window? If you mean the latter, then you're out of luck, because only KDE applications will follow your KDE theme, and emacs is not a KDE application. Perhaps you're confused because you only use KDE applications, except for emacs. If you really mean the former (the window title bar), then it's a problem with your window manager, not with emacs. > And another bug: > In KDE I have menubar at the top of the screen (like in MAC OS) > and not in each window. > But emacs does not follow this and displays menubar > (File | Edit | Options | Buffers | Tools | Help) > in the emacs window, not on the top of my screen (monitor) > > Is there any way how to force emacs to use my custom KDE settings? No. Emacs is not a KDE application. If you don't like the menubar, you can turn it off by saying `M-x menu-bar-mode'. -Miles -- Yo mama's so fat when she gets on an elevator it HAS to go down.
