To answer your questions:
1. KDE
2. I don't know that KDE has more than one theme. I use a simple
theme, with an ever-changing desktop background.
3. I'm a Gnome drop-out. Tried XFCE once; it failed.

It has different themes. Go to System Settings => Applications
Appearance => Styles. There you change your windows theme. Under
Colours you change windows colours. And it you go to Workspace
Appearance => Window Decoration and Desktop Theme, you can change
the look and feel of your plasma desktop.
Hope this helps,
Lailah
PD: If you are a drop out of Gnome, like me, may be you would like to
try Cinnamon and Mate.
