twin-styles under tdeartwork, from the looks of it.
Not sure what the exact package
names for you would be (I'm on Gentoo).
I tried on a *bunutu installation. Those were missing there too, so I installed
these packages:
tdeartwork-style-trinity
tdeartwork-theme-icon-trinity
tdeartwork-theme-window-trinity
and then was able in Window Decorations to get bigger icons using Smooth Blend. :-)
Unfortunately, in both Glow and Smooth Blend, those icons provide almost no
contrast with the titlebar's background color, which virtually eliminates any
advantage over the tiny Plastik defaults' better foreground color and thus
contrast. :-(
