Hi,

maybe someone found this already or made it and I was unable to find it.

I'm looking for a theme that looks exactly like the oxygen theme on KDE 4.
By exactly I mean as pixel-identical as possible.
Same margin, padding, font settings, shadows and such.

I switched back from plasma 5 to plasma 4 and the according apps, because of the wasted space and the missing features and bugs I ran into.
I hope my distribution used at home supports KDE 4 even if there are no more bug fixes from upstream for at least a while.
At work I had to copy the KDE 4 files from home into the FS, because the distribution did not support KDE 4 anymore and I can not use another distribution.
Sorry, but who decided that everything should be this flat icon, huge wasted white space undifferentiated blob of buttons/icon that plasma 5 is by default?
I can't tell where the title bar ends, the menu starts or the content starts, buttons without highlight and you miss functions because you did not recognize an icon as a button.
It gets better with the oxygen theme, but still terrible (for me).

And just in case someone wants to know what features are missing (for me) or what bugs I hit
- a theme that does look like KDE 4 oxygen (pixel exact)
- option to mix and match theme parts (like KDE 4 supported)
- window tabbing
- different widgets and (active) background per virtual desktop
- KDM or something that looks and works identical (lightdm or sddm was a slap in the face, with a hammer)
- the widgets from KDE 4
- mostly the CPU widget (did anyone try the included one in the task bar on a 16 core machine? It does not even fit on a 2560 pixel wide screen)
- a clock widget that can be customized as the KDE 4 one, including a nice looking calendar with upcoming events without taking half of the screen
- I hit the Intel display bug with rendering issues (like high speed flickering of element) on 2 of my computers that I need for daily work. Fine with KDE 4 and same X and drivers.

And all this was on the first (and only) 2 days of using plasma 5.
So if anyone can suggest a theme and at least the widgets and/or workarounds for missing features, it would be great if you can post that here.
Maybe I'll give plasma 5 a chance to prove itself on my non-work critical laptop.
