[PATCH] 3d look for kwin alt-tab window selector aka tabbox

[Lucas Murray]

Basically anything is better than what it is now. However the only
reason why there was no border is because the Oxygen doesn't give
frames with the "plain" style a border unlike every other theme (Try
switching to Plastik or something and the tabbox will have a border).

How does the box look when the background isn't white? What does it
look like in other themes? I'm not 100% sure but I think you will find
that the corners will actually have some glitches due to the rounding.
