I can guarantee you that you won't get rid of the complains no matter which 
style you choose. There are some people who won't like it because it's KDE, 
some because they have a different taste and some because you can't satisfyy 
them no matter what you do.

Yes, that's the beauty of the progress that KDE made in terms of iconthemes 
during the last few months. Due to the work of Frank Karlitschek and all the 
artists on kde-look we now have a huge wealth of different wallpapers, 
iconthemes, wm-styles etc. which KDE users can choose from. Judging from the 
current progress this situation will even improve a lot more over the next 
months.
