I just peeked over the fence. Is this about the dark frame theme? It's
incomplete and doesn't blend well with Ubuntu's curvy Ambience theme,
but actually I liked the look: The old icons feel very outdated after
that short peeking, and I can see how such adoptions are needed to fit
into today's Windows or OSX. Switching back for now because of the
issues, but suddenly my desktop feels very oldish.
Keep on the good work and don't let the naysayers discourage you.

I just compiled QtCreator 4.0 and what a surprise. It seems as if the
QtCreator team seems to have followed everyone else in UI design lately
and tossed out 30 years of Human Computer Interaction design. Namely,
you tossed colorful icons to go with a flat mono-chrome color palette. I
do not understand where this comes from? We programmers have been
fighting and waiting for years to get able to have high res icons that
can convey information quickly and when we get that capability all the
UI designers seem to have just given up on the concept. Color conveys
information quickly. It lets the human brain decipher information with
less effort than a monochrome palette. Numerous experts in the field
have written at length about this issue and where the UI design is going
and just how wrong it is. I urge the QtCreator team to at least include
a theme that retains the colorful icons from QtCreator 3.x in the 4.0
release. It is not too late.

Let me put forth a very direct example. If you drive a white car and you
park that car in a parking lot with 1000 other white cars of the same
type (say 4 door passenger style cars), when you come back out to get in
your car, unless you parked your car in a very specific spot (first or
last) your brain needs to work much hard to remember exactly which car
is yours. Now imagine your car is red, in that same lot of 1000 white
cars. Finding your car is instantaneous.
Thanks for listening.
