Well, i will give my personal opinion that might be preceved as flamy but i 
hope not, just an personal kinda artistical opinion.
Apart from Plastic and maybe a bit .NET they all look like they came from 
another dacade and not the last one, this makes kde look bad IMO.
keramic does not look from another decade but from another world :P (funy as i 
actualy liked it for about 2 months)
btw what do you guys think about the current state of the oxygen theme, btw if 
any ones provides some magic so we can have perfect round corners on windows 
like this one
