I now managed to try the theme in reality. Another big thumbs up! Very awesome!

Some ideas:
- The highlighting of menu items by just underlining is imho just awesome! I would consider using it for tool-buttons as well.
- Plasma's breeze theme has a small line at the top/bottom of scroll-areas, that appears only when not at the very top/bottom. This would do well for the widget theme as well.
- All controls are notably bigger than with oxygen. Is this a conscious decision or is it still debatable (or even a bug)?

I also didn't really like it, but it appears it will stay that way :/

Control's size has been copied from QML widgets provided by Andrew (+ some 'consistent' improvisation where there was no spec, e.g. menubars and menu items)
They are easy to reduce but need conscious decision from designer

May i ask what the point of the top-left lighting thing is? Makes my desktop seem all crooked and whatnot. It seems i get the top left stuff with the version for kde 4.14 as well. The asymmetry is quite weird, especially under windows and such. Maybe some setting for this would be good?

Top-left lighting is a design decision. So andrew would explain better.
As for an option for changing the source, there is one, but it is hidden.
edit your breezerc file (in .kde/share/config, or .kde4/share/config, or .config, or .config5, depending on how your system is built)
and add
LightSource=LS_TOP
(or LightSource=LS_TOPLEFT, or LS_TOPRIGHT)
below section [Style]
depending on what suits you most

Note that this option is there 'just for experimentation' right now, and might get removed alltogether in some future version, depending on how Andrew and others feel about it.

Thanks man! I Think i get the top left lighting now though. I guess its a fairly standard way in design science or whatever it is called. Not for me to question

Actually, do question. Just because you aren't an "Official KDE Designer[sup]tm[/sup]" doesn't really mean much around here since there's no such title: we are all designers here and everyone's input is equally valued. Along with that, experimentation and changing things around are encouraged; so do try out the different settings to see what you like. If you like a different setting then post a screenshot and tell us what you like about it. Who knows but the setting might stick.
I personally am impressed to see that there is an option that can be set to change the lighting direction. I think, depending on how significant the effect is, it could be nice to keep the option to change the light source (maybe even exposing it in the config dialog). Perhaps users of RTL languages might prefer the light source reversed along with the direction of the text (and everything else). Other users might go for a no light source setting and be satisfied with flat widgets. I might even try out a bottom center light source.
An intensity setting could also make for some interesting looking variations, especially when applied to darker themes. Of course I can foresee that being a rather complicated setting to implement properly for only a minor benefit.
I also like having more settings (buttons and knobs) to fiddle with to change the look and feel of the theme, so I will fiddle with whatever options are made available, and will be all the happier the more buttons and knobs are available for fiddling with. I also realize that there are a lot of people who disagree, and that is fine with me too.

Where are we tracking bugs for the Breeze theme?

https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Breeze

still needs some 'components' though
in the meanwhile, just add 'style' in the bug title

Added a QStyle one, tell me if you need anything else:

name plus descriptions plus maintainer email addresses
