<br> <br>I agree, but a new plasma theme that can be used for all our applets<br> should solve this.<br> <br><br> > I can make amarok look prety decent on defoult kde 4.1 but f people use amarok<br> > in windows, osx or change the witdget theme in kde it wont look coerent,<br>

From personal experience, there are pretty significant differences w/ Amarok on os x---e.g. the current SVG background appears completely white, with an imperceptible gradient---so we'll need to do more custom work anyway.</p>
