There's some discussion of theming and ugliness in GTK3 in Nikos' bug 374057. This really isn't my manor (so please forgive me if I'm mistaken) but you might find, e.g., comment 38 useful. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374057#c38 There's mention of using the Adwaita theme and placing a symlink which appears to be required to get GTK3 to honour your theme selection. I'm just surprised no-one else more knowledgable than I has answered yet.
