Plasma Themes black complete dark fuzzy soft
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): https://gitlab.com/obnosim/velours
Velours is a dark Plasma theme with a fuzzy texture and monochromatic icons.
It draws inspiration from Caledonia by Malcer and openSUSE by sumski, but contains only original artwork.
There are two versions: one for Plasma 4 (not actively developped anymore) and one for Plasma 5.
All widgets and icons in the Plasma 5 version use theme colors. This means you can easily customize it by editing the file named colors or delete that file to have Velours use your application color scheme, just like Breeze!
A Yakuake skin to match this theme can be found here: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/?content=170866

There is a bug with the metadata.desktop file, which prevents the installation via the Plasma GUI:
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=Velours 5
is no valid entry, there cannot be a space in the name key (which is used as identifier).For the display name the normal Name= entry is used, so there the space is fine.
As result the automated installation using in the background kpackagetool fails when it checks the validness:
$ kpackagetool5 -t Plasma/Theme -i /path/to/velours-plasma5.tar.gz
kf5.kpackage: pluginname: "Velours 5"
Error: Installation of /path/to/velours-plasma5.tar.gz failed: Package plugin name Velours 5 contains invalid characters
So you might want to change this to (based on the folder name used in the tarball):
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=velours-plasma5
BTW, is uploading new files still broken? Would be a shame if this theme is not available via GHNS (once that bug is fixed of course :) ). Please tell, so we can poke the right people to look into it.

How exactly do you try to upload new files? Going to point some admin to your problem here.

Yeah, the icons seem to be unpopular. Most screenshots made by users I've seen have them replaced with icons from another theme. Are they confusing, unusable, too big, plain ugly?

See Marco Martin's response here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=350190
-mini prefixes are deprecated, north-, west-, east- and south- are not, but they aren't displayed properly unless all parts for that prefix are in the file. The glitch reported by sumski was caused by that little detail. If e.g. north-topleft isn't present in the theme, then north-bottomleft isn't drawn. I fixed it by simply adding dummy elements for every missing id.

It also affects west panels.
It seems Plasma 5 doesn't draw the north-bottom element (but still allocates room for it) and ignores -mini elements altogether. The documentation for Plasma 5 mentions -mini prefixes so I don't think the feature was removed. I'll file a bug report.
In the meantime, you can replace widgets/panel-background.svg with https://www.dropbox.com/s/4bzmbnxf57mdusz/panel-background.svg?dl=1.
You'll lose the gradients but it'll work better.
Thanks for letting me know!
