Seems like there have been great leaps and strides towards making this
possible: being able to customize the them and style from the Settings menu,
application-managed icons (or at least able to set the icons independent of the
desktop). I wonder if it's possible (if considered best) that we might see the
dark theme as the default in the final 16.04 release? I think we know of some
possible issues, but I don't know if they've been resolved:

(1) Packages "breeze" and "breeze-icons" have to be installed in order for
Breeze Dark to even be an option for Kdenlive. Could one possible solution be
to set those two packages as a dependency required for installation? I'd
imagine that most distros have them available, yeah?)

(2) JB said that there should (needs to?) be a way to auto-detect if a user is
running a non-KDE session so that the style can be automatically switched to
Breeze Dark on the first run. However, if the Breeze package is installed by
default along with Kdenlive, would that make this possible? Or, if the Fusion
style (which I believe is available in Qt5 by default?) is able to be set as
default (which looks pretty darn close to the Breeze style), would that make
setting Breeze the default necessary?

(3) Are icons an issue anymore? (Wegerf has been making some very neat icons
for Kdenlive, by the way.)

Yes, thanks. That's good to know and good to hear.
I'm not too concerned with a few specialised icons being mismatched; after all,
it's the common ones that you end up pressing the most.

I am currently not satisfied with the icon situation, here are some details:
Due to a Qt bug, setting an icon theme per application was not possible. This
is problematic when user has a light color theme on Desktop but wants to use
Kdenlive with a dark theme, because the icons were using not visible against a
dark background. So I used a hack, embedding all icons inside Kdenlive, and
allowing us to use our own icons.

In Qt 5.5, the problem was fixed and it is possible to define an icon theme per
application. But Qt 5.5. is still not widely used. When it becomes more
mainstream, I will change the way we handle icons to use the system icons, and
switching dark / light themes with color themes. When this will be implemented,
this should allow more flexibility with icon themes. However you need to be
aware that several icons we use are not in the oxygen theme, so you might end
up with a mix of breeze/oxygen, unless you contribute the missing icons in
oxygen theme...

Hope this clarifies a bit the icon situation.

Will this also allow selecting any of the other native KDE icon sets? I really
much, much prefer the Oxygen icons, they make the workflow faster because I can
identify icons quicker when they're not monochrome. (Not to mention that
Kdenlive now sticks out as a sore thumb among other KF5 apps, that happily make
use of the Oxygen setting.)

the new style parameter fixes all the problems i was experiencing in gnome. so
i wouldn't mind if this becomes the default ;)

I just commited a change in master adding a "Style" option in the Settings
menu.
This will allow you to select the widget style (best option is Breeze). The
setting will be remembered on restart.

Now I am not sure I want to embed icons, color themes, and widget styles inside
Kdenlive (I don't think widget styles can easily be embeded).

Reason for this is that we would need to maintain our own copy of these and we
don't really need extra work. I think it is reasonable to have Kdenlive depend
on some KDE packages.

Currently, I think you need to install the kde-style-breeze and
breeze-icon-theme packages to have it work.

So currently, my idea is that users will need to install these 2 packages. We
now have an easy way to select color theme and widget style so having a correct
look is just 2 clicks away now :)

I still need to figure if there is a way to auto detect that a user is not on a
KDE session so that we can automatically switch to Breeze style on first run,
and then we will be able to have a dark theme by default if we want.

j-b-m, can you confirm that this solution works for you as well? If so,
wouldn't that make it possible to have the Breeze dark theme enabled by default
on most current GNU/Linux (non-KDE desktop) distributions while still keeping
the look of Kdenlive as if it was on a KDE-based distro?

Side note: I would like to suggest that both dark and light themes are included
in Kdenlive, notwithstanding which one is the default one.

Interesting:

On Ubuntu running GNOME 3.16, though the theme in Kdenlive itself is set to
Breeze Dark (which makes the colors look right), the tabs and other ui features
still look like - I guess - the standard Qt design. I found on a forum that you
can edit the Qt theme by adding a " -style=breeze" or " -style=gtk" at the end
of running the program in Terminal or Konsole.

Sure enough, I gave it a try, and it works! The tabs, title bars, and other
various ui components look exactly like they do in Plasma.

Can anyone else confirm this effect by running "kdenlive -style=breeze" and see
if it changes anything for you?

@farid, definitely, the two Breeze themes provided are more than great. 

Most of the icons seem there on non-KDE desktop environments. However, the
"configure Kdenlive" window doesn't seem to show the icons on the left column.
At least, I think there were icons there when running Kubuntu. Do you have them
on yours?

Are you saying that - on Ubuntu - installing the "plasma-workspace" package
will make Kdenlive look like it does on Kubuntu or any KDE Plasma distro?
