I still don't like the way Oxygen looks; most of the newer icon themes from the past few years seem rather dark and muddied, which can make finding a particular icon or GUI element difficult when many of them are shown on the screen. Does a "modern", bright icon theme with relatively high contrast between icons even exist? On the technical end, using newer icon themes means that Bug 1313 must first be be resolved... > The same idea goes with the general theme. We aren't used to the > ''vanilla KDE 3.5.10'' these days.
