TDE R14.1.2 brought several new graphic styles. Shortly after the release,
it turned out that the new graphics styles cannot be selected in twin to
decorate windows. The problem has been fixed and updated packages are now
available in repositories - for DEB and RPM based distributions,
ArchLinux, as well as Gentoo ebuilds and FreeBSD ports.
If you are using PSB repository, the packages have already been updated.

Hi everyone,
some users of RPM-based distros reported high CPU usage and general
slowness when upgrading from R14.0.x to R14.1.0.
The issue has been investigated and the problem resolved in R14.1.1-devel
(see https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/tde/tde/issues/128).
Given the severity of the problem, we have decided to backport the required
fixes and release updated builds of the affected packages for R14.1.0.
Although the problem only showed up on specific RPM distros, packages have
been updated for all distros for consistency.
Please make sure you update to the latest available version of all tqt3 and
tdelibs packages in your distribution. If you are a PSB/PTB user, you
should have already received or will receive the fixes as part of the
last/next update.
Cheers
