Oxygen is the new icon theme being created for KDE4. Everything started in March 2005 when a bunch of KDE contributors met in Berlin to form the Appeal Project with the goal to promote KDE related projects and to push the open source desktop to another level. Oxygen aims to bring a modern, cool and very usable and consistent icon theme, in SVG format.

Well, I would imagine that there is more to looks, than just the quality of the rendering. Choice of colors as compared to the surrounding desktop might be one candidate. ;-)
Heh, it's funny that you say that, it just proves my point even more. Because you see, while in KDE, Nuvola is just an icon theme, it's actually a full theme in Gnome (controls, window borders, icons, and special rendering engine), which means the surrounding desktop integrates pretty well with my SVG Nuvola icons ...
So his tastes are even more questionable ...

I think Nuvola looks horrible in GNOME, but it's beautiful in my KDE desktop
You have strange tastes then, since Nuvola is rendered through SVG in Gnome (so it looks good and polished at any resolution), and is pre-rendered bitmaps in KDE.
