Description:
In an recent update, some KDE apps were updated to use KDE Frameworks 5.
This caused the updated apps to use the fusion theme instead of the default oxygen theme.
According to this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14880032/native-kde-look-for-qt-5-app,
the oxygen theme has to be compiled against qt5 in order to work with qt5 apps.
However, the oxygen package would not install due to conflicts with kdebase-workspace.
Therefore, I cannot find a way to make kf5 apps use the oxygen theme on my current system with KDE4.

kf5 app (kate) with fusion theme: http://i.imgur.com/AodFpBO.png

Additional info:
* package version(s)
kdebase-workspace 4.11.14-1
kwrite 14.12.1-2
kate 14.12.1-2

* config and/or log files etc.
None

Steps to reproduce:
1. enable [testing]
2. install/upgrade kde

There are two issues here: the dependency on kwin and the cursor themes. The kwin dependency will be gone in 5.2. The cursor themes could be split off so that the oxygen package can be installed in KDE4

I have also the same problem, I don't like the flat design,

I want that kf5 apps use the KDE4 oxygen theme, I hope someone will find the solution

we need the qt5 version of the ocygen engine which is ported as far as I know the problem are the othre non standard engines suchs as ocygen-transparent
