GTK+ 3/GNOME 3.16 programs look horrifying under KDE Plasma 4 – SOLVED

Hey guys, what happened with GTK+ 3? After the recent updates, all my GTK+ 3 programs look terrifying under my KDE Plasma 4.14.6. See this:

Other programs like Gnote (Tomboy in C++) don't even show Kwin decoration anymore but a huge, ugly frame:

How can I fix this? – And I don't want to upgrade to Plasma 5 yet, I want to wait for at least 5.3. But WTF happened to GTK+ 3?!

Since Gtk 3.16 upgrade, many themes are broken, like oxygen-gtk3 and even orion doesn't work well (I tested it with gnome-sudoku).
So, waiting for updates of the themes, try using the default gtk3 theme:

$ cat ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
#gtk-theme-name = Orion
gtk-font-name = DejaVu Sans 10
gtk-icon-theme-name = oxygen
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome

How can I change it to the white version?

It's nearly the same as berbae's:

 [Settings]
#gtk-theme-name = oxygen-gtk
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
# next option is applicable only if selected theme supports it
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true
# set font name and dimension
gtk-font-name = Sans 10

Does this still work? Trillian (my only gtk3 app) is still using the light theme no matter if I select orion, default or orion-dark from aur.
edit: with the above addition to my ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

Hmm, interesting. I switched to gtk-theme-breezy now too, and it works. Now if only GTK2 would also follow the theme... deadbeef is still using light theme
