Don't know but I think there are no different svgs for opaque and translucent 
widget background. I think the problem is that kwin does not have argb 
visuals. I tried Marco's idea as well and with that the tabbox border is 
black, just like Kickoff without compositing (with Air theme it looks really 
good).  Btw I don't think it's a real problem that tabbox does not use ARGB as 
it's quite likely that users will only use the classic tabbox when compositing 
is disabled.

I changed to use the window buttons form tasks widget. It looks like that:

Using the attention style for the selected and the normal for all other 
windows and not changing the font settings.
