You forgot to mention the blue shadow on the active window.

That's current with KDE 4.1x as well, with the Oxygen theme. Generally KDE looks a lot better with desktop effects enabled. All the gradients and halos make sense with transparency.

What about it?

Go in the settings and change it to vermillion-fuchsia with a hint of magenta if you so please. I'd like to know what's wrong with a blue shadow that indicates an active window.

I'll bite. It's completely over the top, looks like a radioactive comic book character.

It's useful. It displays what window is focused. It's not just there to look pretty, it's also functional.

Except it isn't pretty it's actually horrendous. Function and form are equals.
