  I went ahead and made an Aurorae version of this 
<https://store.kde.org/p/1367676/> just to get a feel for how much I could 
theme. Overall, I am disappointed with Aurorae as Plasma is not as easily 
customizable as would first meet the eye. Aurorae alone will not let you 
customize the titlebar buttons as comprehensively as one would initially think:
  
  - The in-application Application Style also needs titlebar-like button icons 
as provided in Breeze kstyle (as menitoned by David above)
  - Aurorae does not obey system colour settings, especially for the titlebar 
itself
  - GTK applications which use the client side window decorations in the 
titlebar (e.g. Gedit) still require updated SVG files
  - GTK applications such as Chromium require updated .png files (generated 
with a Python script using Cairo libraries)
  - The icon theme also needs updated as the titlebar buttons are also 
referenced in other places throughout the UI such as in application menus, in 
right-click menus and notification pop-ups.
  
  It would be much better if you could change the titlebar button style in one 
place and would change it in all of these places. That obviously would require 
some serious rearchitecting of the theme engine.
  
  Therefore, working with what we have now, I also decided to be a bit more 
bold and try to propose this as the default theme in D28358 
<https://phabricator.kde.org/D28358> /  T12793 
<https://phabricator.kde.org/T12793> - this implements the 'Classik' theme 
changes without the selection box. I also implemented all the changes in the 
places listed above (GTK and icons) to try and give complete consistency.
