"As sharp and polished as OS X" - yeah right. Dream on. From the article it 
appears that this is about as sharp and polished as typical OSS slopware -

Now the first picture shows you what I get when just selecting Oxygen as 
style on a clean user account. The problems here are that my graphics driver 
doesn't implement certain XRender functionality and unfortunately the style 
currently can't detect that and switch to a more usable background mode. For 
the second picture I switched to the horizontal gradient version (IIRC), 
everything else is still default.

Things that are wrong: The handle of Splitters, the Scrollbar knobs - that 
is the up-knob when the scrollbar is at the top and vice versa, The 
dockwidgets detach and close buttons are broken. The vertical header of the 
CVS toolview on the bottom is not vertical, the text on the vertical bars of 
the right toolviews is flipped (maybe thats intentional, but if it is its 
still broken for me) and last but not least: The line edit in the 
Filemanager has the same background as the windows which is really wrong. I 
also noticed heavy flickering when opening a menu and then moving the cursor 
along the menu bar, what flickers is the combobox on top of the central 
area.
