Rocksolid light theme on Mate or XFCE

Hello Community!
I'm searching for a rock solid light theme.  My prefered Desktops are Mate and XFCE. I had tested all included themes and tons of themes from  mate-desktop.org/themes.

Expectations:
- Narrow window title bar, compact controls (many themes needs lots of space)
- Good contrast and visibility on all window elements, controls and panel
- Not colorful (like "GreenLaguna)
- big Icons with good contrast and visibility

Problems:
- Firefox don't want to use the buttons from theme.
- No contrast on VirtualBox and other software windows and/or dialogs between text and background.
- No contrast in panel respectively clock.

There is any theme, that fits my needs, or anyone want to help me to develop some? There are people with the same problems?

No, my firefox uses the theme buttons.

Virtualbox theme support is broken, alias it as QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=kvantum-dark virtualbox, see screenshot.

Mate panel can be set to any colour you want, default artix-dark is contrast-y enough TBH. See this post too.
