+The Emerald Window Decorator is a custom window decorator shipped with Compiz
+Fusion that allows for theming and full composite window decorations with the
+use of engines. Emerald allows for all sorts of different configurations and
+layouts of buttons, look, title bars and frames. Emerald Window Decorator is
+completely independent of any desktop, and you specify your own themes to use
+for it. The Decoration plugin must be enabled in order for Emerald Window
