You're going to hate this answer. I haven't found a better OS X style
and window decoration than Baghira. I'm posting this from a Mac and I
can tell you that Baghira isn't quite there yet. I'm telling you this
because if you've spent any time with OS X you'll notice.

And the configuration dialog of Baghira is a complete mess. It takes some
time before this style looks exactly as you want.

No. It simply does not appear neither into the "themes" frame nor into the
"styles" one...

Ain't that the truth.

It never looks quite right to me but that might be because I'm used to
the real thing.

So it compiled ok? You might need to restart KDE before it shows up. I
can't be that sure because it's been a long time since I last manually
installed it.
