Standard border theme "unusable" in Kubuntu 10.04

[Tomas Gustavsson]

So they basically ignore usability in this matter? I have field a bug report
anyways, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=223273 . Maybe we could adapt
the Oxygen theme ourselfs for Kubuntu? My eyesight isn't bad but still I
have problems to see if the window is active or not, and I know many people
with not so good eyesight which will get problems if they use the Oxygen
theme.
