  I would beg to disagree. After having this for a while on my system I feel the opposite and can't look at the aesthetics of Breeze-Oxygen any more!
  
  The square minimize icon does not mean nothing - it now visually describes what the window looks like once minimized (i.e. compressed), as does maximize (i.e. expanded into a large square).
  
  There is no visual description with the existing arrows which could mean many things. The existing arrows don't have a clear meaning at all - it is not clear whether the down arrow, for example would move the window down, minimize, restore, provide a drop-down menu, scroll etc. As I said in the task, I've seen several users put off KDE just because of the unorthodox nature of Plasma's titlebar buttons.
