Errrr, you're avoiding the point. The OK button is smaller in height to all the other buttons around it. It looks like absolute crap unless there is a goo usability reason for it. Seriously - no one picked up on this?

Please scroll up a little bit and you'll find that someone going by the name of "Segedunum" already posted the exact same thing you did. Only he used the word "arse" rather than "crap".

Have a very nice day!

    Gee. If you scroll up a little bit further you'll also see another comment that doesn't answer the question either! It seems as though some people may be a little embarrased they didn't notice this.

    Have a nice day!

The button is a function of the Plastik style; if you use another widget style, then you won't have this problem. And even with Plastik it may look bad, but it isn't half as bad as the wording of the dialog. Upon consideration, I think the cancel button can go, too, since the cancel action is already present in the option list.

    Sigh. Plastik is the default style of KDE........

      My KDE shows a blue line around the "OK" button (which is very good!).
      I did not do any special. Style: plastik, Colour scheme:plastik.

      Maybe it's a bug con the computer where the screenshot has been taken.

        Is this KDE 3.5? I sincerely hope so. I haven't used an RC of 3.5 nor have I checked out SVN for quite a while so I don't know.

        If it is just something wrong with the set up of the machine that the screenshots were taken on can somebody just say so?

          Ok, I did investigate a bit:

          This bug can only be seen in some applications, for example the "what do you want to do" dialog or the "file already exists" dialog of Konqueror.
          The bug can not be seen on the buttons of the kontrol center.

          How to reproduce:
          Open konqueror in file manager mode.
          Klick on a file, hold mouse down, press <ctrl> and drop it anywhere in the same directory. Konqueror asks: "File Already Exists<br> This action would overwrite..."
          The "suggest new name" and "Continue" buttons have the same size, the preselected "Cancel" button shows the reduced size. Press <tab> two times and the "Cancel" button becomes normal again.

          In Kcontrol or in this web form buttons stay always the same size regardless if they become activated (<tab>) or not.

          If you select another style (for example ".net") this bug disappeares.
