I'm not quite that myopic.  KDEClassic is fine.  But the Crystal type 
icons don't have enough contrast to quickly recognize in 16x16 and 22x22 
sizes.  I am one of those that call them fuzzy colored blobs. :-)

So, this is something to consider for usability.  The KDEClassic theme 
is a bit dated but it does have better contrast than some of the newer 
styles.  What I would like to see is a new HiColor theme that would be 
more modern but would still have good contrast and black outlines.

Good luck with your project.
