is beryl installed in ubuntu ?

No nothing just a fresh install after open SUSE Just updated and installed a theme and I noticed no Windows border is changing :

Could be a problem with your window manager decorator whatever...uhh, have you installed Beryl or Compiz Fusion in your Suse install?? And I'm assumin you are using KDE so your default window manager would be KWin...the obvious solution I guess would be that there is a conflict between different window managers, so your borders aren't able to change.

If you HAVEN'T installed another window manager...ugh, I dunno man.

No now I have only Ubuntu removed SUSE .. No am using Gnome

Ah!welcome back @shashwat to Ubuntu!
in gnome windows borders are metacity themes,go to System> preferences>themes>Customize>window border and select whatever border ur fine with
and u know u can download border's(metacity themes) from *gnome-look.org and *art.gnome.org etc etc

^^ plz tell me why Windows border did not get changed when I install a GTK theme while it was not a case earlier also why my synp. manager hangs while doing a search same this was not a case earlier

Also canI install kde apps in gnome if yes i installed kramba but i can't find it anywhere ? neither in menu nor in alt+f2

The correct word of launching Karamba is 'superkaramba' (Since thats the one you installed, anyway )

Synaptic hangs, no, pauses rather for all. Its cause of the extra repositories and their packages, the search time gets extended and it thus requires a long time scanning the text and returning results.

@shashwat

you can safely install k3b, amarok etc. but that will also mean u need to download the qt libs. but it works jus fine
