I bet you the artist would be prety upset 2..
some times i gett the feling peple expect that plasma will be as configurable 
ahs kicker was...dough i imagine it is possible i think it was never the 
intention to be..
My idea or what i realise, is that it can be much more themeble tha 
kickoff/desktop ever was but you need to do a theme.
Adding lots of configuration options to an egine that messes with each 
individual theme is i think wrong. IMO you guys sohoud divide prety well 2 
things, defoult theme (wich you improve as much as you can), and engine that 
is theme agnostic.
Not sure im repeting ideas long passed under the bidge if so sorry.
