The current Oxygen style and window decoration for KDE4 can be found in kde-workspace git repository (https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdebase/kde-workspace). The relevant subdirectories are:

libs/oxygen/
kstyles/oxygen
kwin/clients/oxygen

Visitors

We no longer accept bugs here.

Please use bugs.kde.org under Oxygen

We strongly suggest that you come to #oxygen on irc first to discuss the bug.

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
- not really done - but the plain color look is acceptable for now releasable
Rounded corners of floatables (windows,menus dockers) should be done with alpha
Windeco should use alpha for corners (need kwin improvements?)
groupboxes
- make flat more homogeneous in look with normal (very short regular?)
docked dockers might need a nicer frame

QA

This is helpful checklist to use when looking for bugs in a style:

reverse layout
high-contrast color schemes (i.e. all fg/bg black or white)
reverse-light/dark color schemes (e.g. light-on-dark buttons with dark-on-light views, etc.)
QA color scheme
sliders, scrollbars, progress - in all orientations and good cross section of values
content padding works for all controls, does not break sizeToContents functionality
controls align nicely and controls that should be the same size, are
no obvious glitches in uidemo

-== Incoming New Bugs ==
+== Visitors ==
-* add your entry here and we (the developers) will move it down and prioritize
+We no longer accept bugs here.
-* Dockers;  the title is positioned too far to the left and it runs into the rounded-border
+Please use bugs.kde.org under Oxygen
-* 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).
+We strongly suggest that you come to #oxygen on irc first to discuss the bug.
-* In (double) spiboxes the font is positioned one pixel too high. Lowering it one makes it baseline-aligned with labels in front.

+== Things we'd like to do ==
-* A groupbox does not report a minimum size that allows it to show the text on the box. I.e. a groupbox with no contents, the groupbox-title is clipped.

-** east and west aren't done at all <span style="color: orange">priority</span>
-** small glitches in filling inactive tabs <span style="color: orange">priority</span>
