which colourscheme do you use for KDE?

Personally I prefer the 'Norway' colourscheme. The darker ones are also nice but they don't integrate that well for all applications.

Are there any custom ones you can recommend I download and try out?

How do I get to try this out?

save it as ~/.kde4/share/apps/kconsole/Xdefaults.colorscheme I think, I'm using an another WM ATM.

I used to have a light theme ("whitewater", on KDE4, with a subtly darkened "normal text area", whatever is the actual name, instead of plain bright white) for my own user and a dark theme (zion, on KDE4) for root. But right now with the new way that the GTK stuff handles the theming stuff I couldn't yet make GTK apps have the KDEified dark theme looking nice. The new KDEification of GTK themes is superior in other regards though, at least it mimics oxygen in a way I think I would take quite a long time to distinguish something that was rendered from actual KDE from some GTK app with the same theme, unlike the previous gtk-qt-engine thing.

Here's my dark blue colour scheme.

I use QtCurve which is both very customizable and integrates GTK and Qt quite well. You can see some screenshots here.

lol, I posted a colorscheme for konsole..
