I actually liked Oxygen but the application style and window borders made my poor crappy laptop with ah Intel Core Duo 2 and 3 GB on RAM slower. Had to use QtCurve or disable all animations and gradients and stuff. Maybe it was just ahead of its time, now that pseud-skeumorphism is doing a bit of a pushback.
