Yes, i use Wonton soup KDE4 color theme on my computer with default
digiKam theme, to have dark background.

About windows, please file a bugs in KDE-Windows project to set Oxygen
theme by default (it's not digiKam fault here).

digiKam theme management will be rewritten in the future, using Qt4
style sheet. Current one is not very well implemented, based on Qt3
coding style taken from Amarok.

Best
