And Oxygen (the default theme), used a depressing gray. On KDE 4, I used Fusion or Cleanlooks (a port of the Clearlooks GTK theme).

KDE 5 went the other way and Breeze looks great. I sometimes try other theme but always come back to Breeze. I even used Breeze on GNOME and found it better-looking than Adwaita.
