    Dockers;  the title is positioned too far to the left and it runs into the rounded-border


    * Toolbuttons have too much space between them. In layouts where the spacing has been removed there is still a huge amount of space between the images (which are the only visible part of a toolbutton).

    Rejected Bugs

    • In (double) spinboxes the font is positioned one pixel too high. Lowering it one makes it baseline-aligned with labels in front. Unfortunately not possible. We want them to be the same size as editable comboboxes and lineedits and buttons so those line up. The 1px wrong placement of text is a qt weirdness that gives visual bugs when we try to work around it
    • Centered group titles pose several problems. Left align group titles instead. See Discussion for more details.
    • KMenu::addTitle() adds a widget action to display a title in a popup menu. This is not specific to Oxygen, but the widget it creates could use some polishing. (to see this, right click any icon in the system tray)not a style bug report to kmenu maintainer - and don't ever add things to "accepted bugs" below again - this went unnoticed because of that
    • "flat" buttons drawn same as regular buttons we may not want flat buttons - considering

    Things we'd like to do

    • progress bars still not like the artist wants priority
    • should repaint on globalChange signal (how?) releasable
      • this seems to only be a problem for the colors kcm, may not even be a style bug
    • headers in tables
