Hmm... This looks a lot like the Plastik window decoration that is now in kde-3.2 
(and available on kde-look.org too) 
 
I'll see about adding  them both,

Comment 3 Philippe Lafoucrière 2003-09-20 00:18:54 UTC

I've made an ebuild for plastik too :

This theme is really beautiful !

OK, 
  This probably won't make you happy, but anyway. 
 
These ebuilds are not going to be committed to the portage tree: 
 
1. Theme type ebuilds don't tend to have that big of a user base. 
2. The work involved in testing the (often frequent) initial releases does
not 
warrant the number of users. 
3. They tend to go "stale" or unmaintained upstream fairly quickly after
the 
initial popularity wears off. 
 
I will be testing these ebuilds and putting them up on dev.gentoo.org/~tad
so 
that people can place them in their PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory. 
 
Thankyou for the effort that you have made in submitting these ebuilds it
is 
appreciated.

Well, knifty-0.3.2 *is* in portage, so I think it should be updated. Or take knifty out of portage (has there been a decision regarding KDE themes in portage? Gnome themes are in there).

Cheers,
Anno.
