Looks like a Gtk+ theme that supports only Gtk+2 and knows nothing about Gtk+3.

Run this in a terminal:

Code: Select all

find /usr/share/themes -exec test -d {}/gtk-2.0 -a -d {}/gtk-3.0 \; -print -prune | sort
and you'll see a list of themes with support for both Gtk+2 and Gtk+3. Then just use one of them. :)

One more cause of this problem may be the absence of the package named gtk3-engines-unico. This is the second Gtk+3 themes engine (the first being adwaita, but it's already installed if you have the Adwaita theme in your system). Some themes rely on it for drawing their stuff, so it's better to install it if it's not installed yet.

gtk3-engines-unico is installed.
gtk3 themes:
/usr/share/themes/Aldabra
/usr/share/themes/greybird
/usr/share/themes/Mint-X
/usr/share/themes/Mint-X-Metal
/usr/share/themes/Raleigh

This theme change is work with transmission, but not works with vlc, and skype, (qt programs)

EDIT:
I Install qt4-qtconfig,
GUI style to gtk+, and everything nice.
