[Kde-pim] KOrganizer UI problems

[Eva Brucherseifer]

Hi,

is the new the appointment style changed intentionally? imho it looks very 
old-fashioned. Some thoughts:
- the round corners are not antialiased
- they take away space and currently they result in a too small margin (look 
at the "D" in "Don't go fishing"
- the corner radius is too large compared the the rest of the UI components
- in case you want to add corners and such, you also should add a shading 
corresponding to the overall style

Summing it up: I recommend to go back to the plain rectangular style. It is 
the most practical approach and even looks good.

Cheers,
Eva
