oxygen-gtk
Last week we've released two feature versions of oxygen-gtk, namely 1.4.0 for oxygen-gtk2 and 1.2.0 for oxygen-gtk3.Alongside with the usual amount of bug fixes, the main new feature of these releases is the ability to get them compiled and working on non-linux operating systems, and more precisely on windows (see screenshot).

The process of compiling oxygen-gtk2 and oxygen-gtk3 on windows is somewhat complicated (requires cmake, MinGW, gtk2/gtk3). Forcing applications such as Gimp or Pidgin to use the style - once it is successfuly compiled - is even more complicated, since these applications are usually distributed with bundled versions of gtk and standalone configuration files. Describing this is beyond the scope of this post and daring users will have to resort to google to get it right.
For the gtk3 version, we also enabled support for non X11 backends, such as Broadway, which allows to run gtk applications in your browser, via HTML5.

oxygen-qt
For the kde/qt version, oxygen has been successfully ported to KDE-Frameworks 5. This allows to use oxygen together with Qt5 (see screenshot) and ensures that Oxygen will still be available for future releases of KDE.

There is some development foreseen for oxygen before it is released alongside with KDE Frameworks 5.0, in view of revisiting spacing and alignment between widgets, and making the whole style more DPI independent.
