Konqueror fine-adjustments
Source (required if based on other people's work):
Has been annoyed by some small, small things in Konqueror for quite some time now, I'm no C++/QT-coder so instead I made a dummy in GIMP that shows what I mean.
Since don't know how QT works I have no idea if these ideas really work.
Screenshot 1, shows how Konqueror in filemanager-mode looks today.
Screenshot 2, shows what areas I have adjusted.
Screenshot 3, shows the final result.
As you can see it just about moving lines, removing ugly lines, adjusting space between lines etc. Have removed the statusbar under the side bar and moved down the statusbar in the main window a bit.
If this turns out to be quite popular I'm thinking of posting this to kde-artist or bugs.kde.org.
The theme I'm using is qt-curve and some of the problem probably lies there, but I've also tried with Plastik and I see some of the things there as well.
Comments, suggestions etc are more than welcome.

Many of my suggestions seems to be avalible if you choose the right theme;-) So check out Lipstik on this site, http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=18223 . Really nice and much cleaner than both Plastik and QT-curve.

Some of these appear to be artifacts of the Style since I do not have them with HiColor Classic. This style looks cleaner, but the Konqueror status bars would probably still look better without as much detail.
Some of these are going to be style specific or just might not work.
You also need to make the distinction between the window frame and the main window of what it holds. I don't think that it is possible to integrate these two.

Also if you turn on multiple services there's another horrible black line between the service panes.

The excessive use of frames is a fair point. The Splitter widget may look like that for some themes, but I know from looking at the sources that KDockWindow splitters do not draw a splitter, they draw a QFrame, and it looks crap. Look at amaroK, I made it so amaroK's splitter uses the proper drawing code.
The redundant statusbar in the left pane has bugged me for ages too.
If I had time or inclination I'd make a patch, but I don't really have either, sorry :(
