Hello!

I read comments on several news-sites about KDE4 RC1 and apparently there is 
still the issue that people cannot distinguish between focus/unfocused 
windows.

I suggested to let the users who do not use shadows set the colour of the 
outer 1 pixel border that sourrounds every window. I was told that the user 
will have the choice of not using oxygen. This is of course true -  bur 
because of one colour? That does not make sense to me.

If oxygen is meant to be the default style and the focused/unfocused is a 
usability issue, this should be resolved, should it not? Especially since it 
is only baout choice and not actually changing anything on the default look 
of oxygen.

Sven

PS: I think that using screenshots like 
http://scr3.golem.de/?d=0710/KDE4.0-Cicker&a=56099&s=7 is already working 
around the issue and clearly showing that oxygen ignores usability in this 
respect.
