Funny, I'm much more bothered by the buttons floating at the bottom, one or two pixels from the border but not touching. The sharp, rectangular design of KDE also doesn't speak to me, which is kind of strange because I do like it in the old win9x designs. I think maybe it's the combination of sharp edges and soft shadows that annoy me?

Most KDE design is actually pretty consistent, but the design language just doesn't sit well with me. I'll stick to Gnome/Phosh if Linux on phones ever becomes popular.
