Hugo (oxygen maintainer) is going to work on this. This is IMHO nothing the blue-systems team should work on.
Okay, does he know about oxygen needs porting? Does he know how to do this or can we help him port? Either oxygen should be fully ported to kdeco2 or aurorae should be working 100% reliable with kdeco2 before plasma 5.2 release (preferably both).

yes
Does he know how to do this or can we help him port?
this week I exchanged about a dozen mails with Hugo discussing KDecoration2 details. He is actively working on currently the Breeze deco. I assume he will switch to Oxygen when that is done. I don't want us to work on it, because that would be interfering with his area and his expertise. The chances that we break things is too high. Also he is sharing quite some code between Breeze and Oxygen so any work currently would be lost.

If Oxygen doesn't have a port in January I can schedule some time to work on it. Concerning Aurorae I cannot promise anything as that's interaction problem with OpenGL - it has nothing to do with kdecoration2.
seems still missing in KCI 20150109, @mgraesslin : can you have a look?
can you have a look?
I can contact Hugo and ask whether he will do the port in time of 5.2 release. If he doesn't have the time then we should discuss who does it.
I just got a reply from Hugo: he moved it to 5.3 from his side but would appreciate if someone does an initial port for 5.2 even if not finished.
Please note that I would prefer to not have to work on it. I'm not good at UI things and there are IMHO more important things where my development power can be used in a better way.
is this still sensible for 5.2?
I started this.
Looks pretty good...
Except there are 5 pages of damn config options, and that radial gradient. I need at least another 2 days to get them all working.
@davidedmundson maybe we can get the basic functionality in and Hugo can add all the config options for 5.3?
@davidedmundson : please point to the git source, so harald can package it for netrunner-fixes ppa.
in oxygen branch kdecoration2
oh god that diff
@davidedmundson please merge v5.2.0 in that branch or some other branch so I don't go mental over compiling this into a thing that applies on the 5.2.0t tar :sob:
lets delay that then for plasma 5.3
FYI, merged to master so it will be in Plasma 5.3 without any patching.
can we ship this in kci?
please ship in next kci for testing.
should already be there
sudo apt install kwin-decoration-oxygen
works!
not sure who does this, but for completeness sake when offering oxygen widget style, plasma theme and icons, it shouldn't be missing from plasma5.2
