Retro ASCII look for Plasma.
This theme was born as a joke at the Plasma developers meeting called Tokamak 4 held in Nuremberg.
After I posted the news on my blog, a lot of people expressed the desire to have it.
*Further development*
If you are interested in contributing to this theme and want to make it use all the fancy new Plasma 5 features, the sources are at git@git.kde.org:scratch/ivan/plasma-theme-ascii

Probably after KDE SC 4.5 is released - there is much work to be done development-wise, I rarely get any free-time for artwork.

Well, whatever it takes. I've been praying for something like this! The analog clock is pretty ugly, so I use the elegance clock, but other than that I don't have to tweak anything. Everything looks good, but more important, everything is visible at all times. I can let the wallpaper run on a slide show, and nothing is going to come up at any time that will make a part of my display unreadable.
I'd love to see this available in a wide variety of bold colors. Dark green comes to mind, maybe a dark red.
Can't tell you how much this helps me resolve my epic ambivalence to KDE4. My biggest problem is that I can't stop compulsively tweaking the desktop because the more complex a theme is, the harder it is to make it look good. Here's a theme that I can just forget about. Thank you! Thank you!
For god's sake, don't be afraid to think INSIDE the box from time to time!

I /was/ in a state of bliss at the time since I found one of my favourite candies - turkish baklava, but nothing more than that :)
As for the colour themes, maybe later when I find the time.
And, as for the clock, yes, it is ugly, but I can't think of a pretty clock that will be ascii-like.

It's clean and crisp. Has a very nice 'eye feel' to it.
Another fine product from the man who brought us Lancelot.

I really like this style. :)
But my panel is blue. Do you have any idea why?
