I'm prety happy how it went with Andre, and how its going with Marco.
qstyles and kwin decorations is a hell of alot more complicated the coders 
cant simply use a svg i make they have to turn it in to pure code. So alot 
goes away in the process. but we alrady know that don't we?
But yeah in a perfect world/plasma plasma would be extremy simple and extremly 
flexyble so any one could do plasmoids using any grafical element/shape he 
would desire.

Being very serius, I dont understand what you meen.
whta I try to do? stuf that looks good.
the second thing i ask myself, can this software pull it off?
If yes I do it. If no... well this is not the case is it?

don't agrea the imposing limitations is a way to get more themes.
all the elements I that I started doing in the theme are necessary (maybe some 
shadows no).
The fact remains that for each plasmoid some one creates more elements will be 
needed, (and couse plasmoids are scalable it will mostly be on powers of 9) 
Its a fact of theming.
