The UI definitely needs work. Oh, and for button style, it should be 
"sunken" (<- "default"), "flush" (<- "KDE 4.2") and "raised" (as in KDE 
4.1)... I want my original buttons back :-).

Also, "flags" is not an acceptable name for that group box...

+1 to dropping stripes :-). +100 to dropping drag handle, it's *ugly*.

Exceptions was easily the feature that made me go "ooh, shiny". +1 that 
this is the best feature in Nitrogen.

 From past experience, I can tell you that won't take long. Various 
people have been trying to get Oxygen to accept just the non-blended 
title bars since before 4.0...
