Another one of those lest do stuff we don't need to ask any one lest do it 
because we can.... makes me ggg..
So We Oxygen have been in contact with the nitrogen dude so he would work 
directly in oxygen and avoid the duplication of code, from the talks we had it 
seemed like every one was happy, at least i was ok with most of the options 
nitrogen offered. 
so this new theme in the code base is totally unexpected to me.

Just a reminder the only difference between ozone and oxygen is the option to 
"color the windeco"  that given the fundamental logic of oxygen (one slab 
look) is not acceptable. 
I'm fine with options and most of the option nitrogen offered are great. I 
said this to the developer and he said it would be great to work directly on 
oxygen, as far as i remember he wasn't a fan of the color the windeco option 
as well.
