Hi all,
For the last couple of weeks and after discussion with Nuno, Marco,
Andrew and some others, I've worked on implementing most of the ideas
from git://anongit.kde.org/breeze.git
<http://anongit.kde.org/breeze.git> (more precisely from the QML demos
at widgetstyles/qtquickcontrolsstyle) into a native widget style for KF5.
Some screenshots below:

Now this is of course not complete, but at least it is usable (I'm using
it now).
It naturally uses a lot of the code from oxygen, though for now I've
preferred making a deep copy than actually sharing the code via
libraries. Also it should be more efficient and have less 'issues'
because it uses no pixmap caching but direct rendering to the widgets
everywhere, mostly because said rendering is simpler than for oxygen.
This should make it more easily dpi independent when this gets
implemented inside Qt5.
For the moment the code is in the following scratch repository:
git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/hpereiradacosta/breeze
Ultimately I'd like to
- push this to some official repository (where should that be ?
kde/workspace/breeze/kstyle ?)
- make it the 'official' kf5 style (instead of the current QtCurve settings)
- have feedback
- iron out the remaining issues
Among the things that are most notably missing are: a configuration ui (!)
(though I foresee less things to be configurable than with oxygen)
... and then I'd like to:
- make a gtk style
- possibly make a kde4/qt4 style,
- backport the improvement made to the code base (it is always good to
revisit one's code) to oxygen@kf5
etc.
Comments, objections, blessings, are welcome
As someone with no clue:
a) what's the advantage of having a native widget style, compared to using
QtCurve settings?
None, except that you need someone working on qtcurve
Are there things missing / not implementable in QtCurve?
Everything is implemementable in QtCurve, though not via a simple text
config file. So here also, you need someone to do it.
b) do you share the git history, i.e. did you do a proper fork, or did you
reimport the sources and started from scratch (I hope not).
For breeze I reimported the needed parts of oxygen sources and started
from scratch, mostly because a large fraction of the code from oxygen is
overkill for Breeze's needs.
Bye
