1. I don't really like Oxygen too, I always just install KFaenza. The design team is working on a new icon set for KDE5 too (http://wheeldesign.blogspot.it/2014/02/monday-report-4.html http://wheeldesign.blogspot.it/2014/02/monday-report-4.html). 2. I agree too, but you have a third and fourth option, QtCurve and Bespin. Personally I'm quite happy with the Aeri theme (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Aeri+?content=162303 http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Aeri+?content=162303). Screen: http://81.4.126.121/i/1400094470.png http://81.4.126.121/i/1400094470.png The design team is working on a new widget theme too, I think it's going to look kinda similar to Aeri (from what I gather on the forum, at least). There's also Fusion, which is the Qt5 default theme and it's really nice. 3. I agree as well, some applications are just confusing and overwhelming out of the box. You don't even have to look at 3rd party applications, Amarok and Gwenview are a good example and are base applications. Thankfully usually it's possible to hide away most of the stuff (This is how I've configured them, http://81.4.126.121/i/1400094841.png http://81.4.126.121/i/1400094841.png and http://81.4.126.121/i/1400094897.png http://81.4.126.121/i/1400094897.png, I like to think that I've got a "clean" effect). But, to be honest, I'd rather have applications that have tons of features and shove them in my face than oversimplified applications that have no settings/features.

I use QtCurve. Will give try to others you mentioned. I like Qt5 theme too, however never tried hard enough to see how to enable it as my KDE widget set (don't see it in system settings). Can you tell how? I'm generally happy with base apps. Its just the other apps like Kopete, Kmail etc. Though its been very long, so there must be good improvement there.

  Fusion is Qt5 only for now, so you won't find it by default. There is a port to Qt4 which works fine, you can get it here: https://code.google.com/p/fusion-qt4/ https://code.google.com/p/fusion-qt4/ (only source, so you have to compile it).
