Hi,

Over the past couple of months, various people have put a lot of
effort into cleaning up & stabilizing the non-default Decorators
(BeDecorator, WinDecorator, etc.)

Is there any reason we still can't include these in the default build?
There have been a couple people asking for them, and have been
somewhat frustrated that they have to build them themselves.

The main issue is, besides BeDecorator, they don't have Stack&Tile support.
Since we have an API for that and it is part of the Haiku UI features, all
decorators should support it.

There is also not much use for them besides testing the decorator API. Why are
people asking for them? If it's only to play around with the look and feel,
maybe we could make them available in a separate package (no need to clutter
the default install with them). If there are more serious needs, the default
decorator should be fixed so switching to something else is not needed :)
