Filip Fila and Nuno Pineiro are bringing the classic #Oxygen #theme back to Plasma
Tastefully colourful icons, shadows, transparencies and shiny buttons are all part of the spectacular reimagined themes Air and Oxygen being painstakingly reconstructed from scratch by the designers.
Filip includes download links in his blog post so you too can trial-run both themes now:

@kde Good job: keeping old theme alive is a lot of work, but also very important.
Personal story: Linux Mint continues to ship their distro with very old themes. I could, thank to this, maintain this summer the computer of my (old) mother, a Linux-Mint from 2012 that semi-rolled update and upgrade until 2026 but too unstable because of all upgrade layers. I reinstalled a Mint from scratch, and could still put the same color, same directory icons, same start menu and sound, a joy for her.
