<para>Choose a window decoration style from the preview list, using the
search field at the top of the screen or download a new style using the
<guibutton>Get New Decorations</guibutton> button.</para>
<para>The default window decoration is called <quote>Breeze</quote>.</para>
<para>Each style has a different look, but also a different
<quote>feel</quote>. Some have (sometimes invisible)
<quote>resize</quote> borders all around the edge, which make resizing
easier but moving more difficult. Some have no borders on certain
edges.</para>
<para>You are encouraged to experiment with the different styles until
you find one which best suits your pattern of work.</para>
<para>In the preview pane at the right of each style you find a <inlinemediaobject><imageobject>

<title>Buttons</title>
<para>This section below the style list allows you to customize the button location on the titlebar.
You can drag buttons into the titlebar, remove them or drag around the
buttons until you have the order that makes you comfortable.
</para>
<tip>
<para>For accessibility purposes, some window decorations support
extra wide borders. If this is available, you can also choose a
border size here. These large borders are easier to see for low
vision users, and easier to grab for people with limited mobility or
difficulty using a mouse.</para>
</tip>
<para>Enable <guilabel>Close windows by double clicking the menu button</guilabel>
to have an additional option to the Close button or if you have removed the Close button from the titlebar.
