I've tweaked defaults provided by the theme plugin a bit more : 
https://anongit.kde.org/scratch/rjvbb/osx-integration .

I'll be uploading a series of comparison screenshots made without 
`~/.config/kdeglobals`, using the oxygen-demo application. The left window is 
always "pure stock", that is without use of the platform theme plugin. The 
right window uses the plugin combined with the native "macintosh" widget style; 
the plugin provides only the fonts from `DefaultFontData` (see 
`kfontsettingsdatamac.mm` in the repo), the standard/stock colour palette and a 
default icon theme choice (Oxygen as I find that an overal better match).

The differences not involving icons (i.e. fonts) are subtle but in all honesty 
I think the platform plugin improves the look and feel to look just that little 
bit less unfinished that makes all the (ok, a lot of) difference.
