Hi Dep,

Go into kcontrol, the GTK Style and Themes under appearance, and play with the 
settings until it works. The problem is you are using an incompatible theme 
to "retheme" the the application UI. For gtk2,  I use qtcurve. For gtk3, I 
use default. That's works well for me. However, I can't say this will for you 
but it's a starting point.

Good luck and cheers,

Kate
