Well, mine has the dual bottom buttons and it doesn't contrast heavily
with the rest of the widgets. I think that is what he was referring to.

The old scrollbars looked *nothing* like Windows or Motif. The bevels in
the slider were based on BeOS but that's it. If the old way looked
cleaner (which after using the new way I have to agree), then I want to
use that. The default KDE interface for me isn't about trying to fill
all the blank space with decorations, it's about trying to make the
clearest and least obtrusive user interface as possible. That's why I
also don't like the slider bevels. 

I think I will go back to the old background for now.
