Notifications/jobs are unique elements of a desktop, so they should be allowed to be styled as such. If someone has some really super-slick idea for how notifications should look, they can easily theme them without having to worry about all other extenders looking strange. For instance, I'd like the default plasma theme to have transparent notifications instead of using the opaque extender SVG. imho, extenders are just generic widgets with special behavior. Notifications are special widgets with special behavior. They're very distinct. And aren't notifications meant to be able to grab a user's attention? If they look like every other UI element, they have a tendency blend right in. Of course, all of this can be considered moot, since someone just has to write their own notifications plasmoid.
