Yes, there are better and wosre interfaces.  The approach to UI taken by 
the default Noatun plugins is the superior route of attempting to follow 
KDE UI standards.  This should lead to Noatun looking and acting like 
other KDE applications.  That is the path to the greatest usability.

If you don't like how Noatun looks, reconfigure your KDE.  If you think 
Noatun looks inconsistent, stick to plugins that try to follow KDE UI 
standards.
