Plasma decoration based on Breeze and Dynamo. Transparent for blur compositing (50% opaque) and supports color schemes (window background for content, view hover and focus for element effects).
This represents what I wish a modern desktop theme for KDE would look like, in terms of both appearance and features. Compatible with both KDE4 and Framework 5. The screenshot shows various color styles achieved with system color settings.

Changelog 1 year ago
1.0: Initial release.
1.1: Add a simple and discrete border around background decorations. Just like the Breeze widget theme, it uses the window text color.
1.2: Fix panel background shadow and button color.
1.3: Fix widget bars not showing in Plasma 5. All icons now follow text color, as the Breeze theme intended. Tweak transparency and colorization for several elements.
1.4: Use correct element format in panel-background, old one still included for consistency as panel-background-old. Remove custom icons, as I cannot keep them up to date against changes in the software.
1.5: Improve the clock design, as well as the colors and transparencies of elements.

I do run into a problem when using white/light text on dark backgrounds with this theme: text entry boxes (like the search box in the Add Widgets panel or Homerun) have a (nearly) white background, and the white-on-white is unreadable.
Is there a way to change that to something more neutral (or preferably use the view background color from the color scheme)? I imagine that if it can't be set up to pull from the color scheme then using a medium grey should be sufficient so that it can be usable with either white/light or black/dark text.

As for the text color issue, I'm afraid I don't know with certainty. The colors can only be customized for svg elements (panels, borders, etc) as the text is handled separately by Plasma. I only have this issue with the Aurorae component of the theme, since the engine only allows a fixed font color.
At least for me however, Plasma automatically switches between black / white fonts accordingly based on the panel background. Do you get this issue with KDE4 Plasma Desktop, or the Framework 5 Plasmashell? If I can fix this by tweaking the colors of an element, I shall look into it for an update.

The style for the search box is styled by the theme. Examples in other themes include Colorbit: button text on a light gray background w/gradient, Doomsday (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Doomsday?content=159938): uses white text on a black background, Aya: uses button text on a (semi-transparent?) medium gray background.
I'm not sure where the background for the search/input box is defined, but I'm guessing it's an svg file since some styles use gradients or custom borders.
