Version: 0.8.80 (using 4.2.91 (KDE 4.2.91 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090609)), Arch Linux) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.29-x41 A while ago I proposed to change the way web or terminal areas are drawn. Until now, contrary to the way the rest of the windows style is drawn, Okular uses right angles for the HTML display area. This looks to me like a 'forgotten detail' and undermines the rest of the style. Casper Boemann agreed, but explained to me that the Oxygen people can't fix it. He made clear it is a problem of the individual applications. See Bug 176293 for more details.

Okular just uses a standard Qt widget, drawn by the current Qt style (which is Oxygen in your case). > This looks to me like a 'forgotten detail' and undermines the rest of the > style. Arguable. > Casper Boemann agreed, but explained to me that the Oxygen people can't fix it. > He made clear it is a problem of the individual applications. I see no problem at all; as I told you, an application cannot know anything about its window decoration (which is just an implementation detail of the window manager, which could even have no window decorations). I cannot (and not sure I would) do anything about that.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding (I'm not a Qt-programmer). What I meant is the widget style. At first I thought the 'problem' was related to the Oxygen style as well, so I filed a proposal with them first. But, as I said, they made clear that they can't do anything -- although they would like to -- about how to draw the borders of the content widget (the document area in Okular). (Maybe because a standard Qt widget is being used??) My point is that the border of the content area doesn't seem to be part of the widget style. This is, I think, because in practice there's not much style to it (it's basically just a rectangular block, unlike the rest of the widgets). This is indeed a question of personal preference. And personal preference should be dealt with by the (different) style designers :)
