Hi.
Yes, I admit that I mixed various issues here involving personal preferences.
Sorry about that. But let me be clear on some things:
1. KDE = Choice. Agreed 100%. KDE design group had their choice for flat theme
and I respect it. 
2. (But) I still don't give up on my opinion that significant part of the icons
are not distinctive. Yes, keep them flat, keep the Breeze design guidelines but
make some new decisions here (see above posts and screenshots).
3. I love Oxygen and Elementary (especially the last and personally I want it
to be part of KDE) but they still have issues which breaks the consistent
feeling of the desktop. I believe that Oxygen will not be deprecated. As I
mentioned other themes in KDE store aren't even developed especially for KDE
(seriously why they are there?). Many of them after installing and applying
show inappropriate icons for various items. Typical example is System Settings
control center. Which in most cases leaves the user with almost no choice if he
wants a good, complete, stylish look.
