I didn't; I said that the historical situation has been that Ozone and 
Oxygen have had irreconcilable differences. If that's changed, I will 
happily stand corrected.

My viewpoint is simply that getting down to only one style seems 
unlikely unless Oxygen accepts the "don't blend titlebar color with 
window contents" option...

...which right here, you say again that you oppose. And that was my 
point. Though in fairness, it's for you and Lubos to fight over. 
Personally...

...I find the colored edges an acceptable solution. Prior to the sizing 
bug I'd even switched back to Oxygen... that sizing bug *must* be fixed.

With that fixed, /I/ am okay with merging everything back down to one 
decoration, but Lubos has historically felt very strongly about the 
"color my windeco" (as you put it) option.

Personally I think the best solution would be to include that, but have 
it off by default.
