and  in the end you guys won ozone was default and you can paint the windeco 
in a different color from the window itself, i have explain this over and over 
again its fundamentally wrong as the basic design of oxygen goes, its a fine 
option but its not oxygen.
if you remember correctly you will remember that there was never an unanimous  
opinion about it several people took one side and others took another. there 
are bugs in bowth directions. In the end the kwin maintainer decided. 

I find it extremely unfair to say that we don't accept input its a lie and you 
know it Matthew Woehlke, the only thing I wont accept is the current 
implementation of the "color my windeco" as oxygen the stripes and the active 
glow are tries to tackle that issue.
