Where are KDE themes located?

Systemwide themes are placed in /usr/share/kde4/apps/desktoptheme/ but you can copy to ~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/ if you want to customize for a user.

KDE Icons are place in /usr/share/icons or in ~/.kde/share/icons. (KDE5: /usr/share/icons or ~/.local/share/icons`)

On the following link there's an nice example on how to customize a theme: https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?56120-Customize-plasma-desktop-theme .

If I helped you go ahead and vote up my answer, it really does have a sense of euphoria that comes along with it :) As of December 2015, I'm still an active member of AskUbuntu but do not run Ubuntu on my machine (moved on to a different distro) so I can't test much of what I give as advice, and some of it might become fairly antiquated knowing the Linux community :)

I want to modify a few icons in the theme.

How would I go about modifying them, and moreover where are they located?
