Personally, I'm not a big fan of that flat look, so I'm probably not going to use the Breeze widget theme. The dark Plasma theme looks nice, though.

1)Cursor Theme: Done and is now the default for Plasma Next.
2)Window Decoration: This part as been prototyped as an Aurorae theme engine version. However, it won't be shipped as default until a C++ version is done for performance reasons.
3) Widget Theme has come far. For Plasma's first release a toned down version of Oxygen (still being considered) may be the default until Breeze is ready.
a) Qt4 version has a QtCurve version. No idea if that's all Qt4 is getting but it's close to the original as possible for QtCurve.
b) QtQuickControls (QML for Desktop) is basically done.
4) Plasma (Desktop) Theme is mostly done. In fact there is a light theme called Breeze (as seen in the picture has better contrast than Air theme from Plasma 1) and a separate dark theme.
5) Color scheme is mostly done. However, the Plasma developers asked for more contrast in colors.
