Hi, I don't truly understand to which particular borders you are referring to, (I can think of at least 3 of them) here's how mine used to look
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=72811. I used to tweak the code a lot, so basically that is as thin as it gets. For the moment I don't have access to a linux machine to test the code properly so all I can give you now are some pointers, I rewrote parts of the code so is now different to the one available here. But you don't need to rewrite anything, just find some values and adjust them, it is a trial and error approach but is not complicated, search for a client directory and a file named dominoclient.cpp, here are the most relevant lines:
namespace Domino
{
const int titleEdgeTop = 3;
const int titleEdgeBottom = 1;
...
const int titleGradientHeight = 15; // original value was 10
const int bottomBorderHeight = 8;
const int borderWidth = 2; // original value was 5
Try those settings first, edit, compile, test, uninstall, edit further if necessary. I still could be missing something here, like I said I haven't worked on Domino for a while, but everything revolves around those variables, thankfully the author named them properly. Hope this helps. - Aug 21 2008

http://www.menuetos.org/. I tried it last year and submitted a report of my processor. It may not look much at first but it's certainly promising, it is always nice to see this kind of programs, it reminds me of the way Linux started. Second, fasm, probably the best compiler right now, http://flatassembler.net/examples.php, Third, masm, it comes with a bunch of mini-programs but just for windows. They have a fixed position against the GPL/HLL that put me off, they don't let you release your code with that license. So Fasm is the way to go, however it's too complicated for me, I can't get the language. - Aug 03 2008

for (int i=0; i<500000; i++)
{
// new string url + append i
// copy string to clipboard
// wait 2 seconds
// getright adds it to the queue list
// if (i mod 500==0) then wait 60 seconds and resume loop
// by then there's enough room to keep adding more
}
This way only a limited portion of RAM gets used. This same procedure applies to any other download manager capable of clipboard monitoring such as KGet.
I used to have a spare old hard drive, which is now pretty much pointless because is only 3GB, not enough for modern needs. :( - Aug 02 2008

I haven't had the chance to try them yet so I got to ask this to someone else: Why do they have such a poor rating here? They don't display correctly? It's a pity. They look good on the screenshots, any other extra setting is necessary? Wrong category? I'm sure the author will appreciate some feedback. - Jul 12 2008

if ((KDEStyle==domino)&&(KDEDecoration==domino)) {textcolor=white;buttontextcolor=COLORSCHEME_COLOR;}.
I always enjoyed the level of customization KDE has, but I think it would be even better if you could connect everything with a .msstyles type of file (style+deco+schemes+fonts) and from that point on, customize it as much as you want, plus quick and effortlessly create new styles. XP has hundreds of styles at your disposal basically because you don't need to be a programmer to be able to create one. In fact, you need to be a really good programmer and learn a lot of the QT framework to do such a thing properly on KDE. It can take several months, in the meantime an average windows designer can create 3-4 styles per month that look far better. This is the type of improvement I always requested, a possible long time benefit that is also relatively easy to achieve. I don't mean to sound rude but things like plasma mean little to me, especially when proper priorities such as proxy support are still unattended, so I won't expect this anytime soon. - Jun 02 2008

Style/Deco: Domino. From top to bottom, right to left:
Kicker.
Semi-transparent, 24 pixels height, with 14 virtual desktops + thumbnail preview.
Configure panel -> Appearance -> Enable transparency
Configure panel -> Taskbar -> Appearance -> For transparency.
Kmenu.
Open home/USERNAME/.kde/share/config/kickerrc, go to [menus] and add this entry: MenuEntryHeight=-1 if you want to remove the icons. You can load it with a right-click anywhere on the desktop by doing this:
Configure panel -> Taskbar -> Actions -> Show Operations Menu
It also looks thinner because Domino lets you remove unused space (Kcontrol -> Style -> Domino -> Configure -> General -> Indent menu items.).
Desktop.
Configure Kdesktop -> Background -> Advanced Options -> Text color -> #000000 and enable shadow. This way you can achieve the glow/halo effect. It works better with light backgrounds. The font is FreeSans 7.
Konsole.
Semi-transparent. (Konsole -> Settings -> Schema -> Transparent for MC.)
Audacious mp3 player minimized.
I think that covers it all, if you have any question just reply. Thanks a lot for re-posting your message here so everyone can read it, sometimes it takes me a while to catch up with messages. - May 11 2008

"NX is great - MUCH faster than VNC! But I do NOT recommend using FreeNX unless you want an exercise in frustration, or at least have access to the older client software (that, at least, seems to work, but not perfectly - in particular, I had font display issues when using FreeNX that I could not resolve, even after many hours of effort)."
"While NX is much better at bandwidth, it comes at the expense of CPU usage. All that proxying, caching, compressing, encrypting comes at a cost."
Considering the number of features it has, Domino is already optimized. There's not much (actually nothing) I can do. I did also a search about Oxygen and CPU usage,
Quote:
"During this time Plasma and XOrg are heavily using the CPU. Moving around a window makes again ~58% CPU load (by kwin). Moving the mouse over the taskbar gives me 60% CPU usage by plasma AND 50% CPU usage by XOrg."

The KDE devs seem they have trouble with these issues too, needless to say, I neither possess their knowledge of the internals nor the resources at their disposal, so I'm sorry I won't be able to help. I also won't visit this site for a while like I posted recently, so I'm sorry I can't provide further assistance. - Mar 30 2008

Kcontrol -> Style -> Domino -> Configure -> General -> Indent menu items.
IIRC, it can be adjusted even more. - Mar 27 2008

You're a lucky guy, I had to reinstall KDE4 plus dev dependencies over 10 times in 2 weeks. Looks stable (relatively) on the surface but whenever I need to install or upgrade a core library everything falls apart. Too many crashes and annoyances for the moment so I'll wait for 4.1 myself.

I'm also testing QT new features, if I manage to do the things you asked, I'll glady share my code with you.
