Window and Decoration Style programming in KDE5 with QT

I have been looking for information over the internet but haven´t been able to find specific information on the subject.

I see there are lots of information about theming, widgets and icons. I am starting to practice some programming using QT5 and I always wanted to play with the KDE GUI design.

What I am basically interested in is how do you programatically style the windows and decorations at a system wide level?

Plasma's window manager kwin uses the libKDecoration2 library to handle decorations. Check the *.h headers there for documentation.

Both Breeze and Oxygen decoration use this library from C++.

You can find a smaller example decoration at http://skulpture.maxiom.de/playground/skeleton-0.1.tar.xz
