Hey,
After trying to no avail to document myself on the topic, and fiddling with the available (through GUI) options to customize colours, I can't say I'm fully happy with the way Gajim looks to me. However, I saw that anrxc uses a custom gtkrc file to start gajim with, and we all know he's a big Zenburn lover. Has anyone seen that file, or maybe even has a copy? I'd love to have a look at it!

Well "purple" is pidgin, but maybe it's just the same file. I have to admit I didn't try.
EDIT: Nope, doesn't seem to work.

That purple gtkrc is for Pidgin (with GTK theme plugin), I made it to imitate my Gajim.
I don't share the Gajim "theme" because it's not simple, and not really a theme. Gajim theming capabilities are complex, and don't allow changing the window bg. So it's a split between a custom gtkrc and builtin schemes. I took my usual GTK theme (I use clearlooks), copied it to ~/.gtkrc-zenburn and changed a few things, mainly:
base[NORMAL] = "#3F3F3F" # Zenburn, window bg
text[NORMAL] = "#F0DFAF" # Zenburn, text
That file is included by ~/.gtkrc-gajim on startup: $ GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.gtkrc-gajim gajim
include "/home/anrxc/.gtkrc-zenburn"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Tango"
gtk-font-name="Liberation Sans 8"
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
style "user-font"
{
font_name="Liberation Sans 8"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"
Gajim's theming is again split into two parts, one for themes other for "chat line colors". Relevant parts of my ~/.config/gajim/config:
inmsgcolor = #cc9393
outmsgcolor = #efef8f
statusmsgcolor = #7f9f7f
outmsgtxtcolor = #f0dfaf
restored_messages_color = #efef8f
urlmsgcolor = #00ffff
themes.zenburn.accountbgcolor = #1e2320
themes.zenburn.bannerfontattrs = B
themes.zenburn.accountfontattrs =
themes.zenburn.groupfont = Terminus 8
themes.zenburn.groupbgcolor = #3f3f3f
themes.zenburn.state_paused_color = mediumblue
themes.zenburn.state_muc_msg_color = #0000cd
themes.zenburn.state_gone_color = grey
themes.zenburn.state_muc_directed_msg_color = red2
themes.zenburn.bannertextcolor = #acbc90
themes.zenburn.accountfont = Terminus 8
themes.zenburn.contactbgcolor = #3f3f3f
themes.zenburn.groupfontattrs =
themes.zenburn.accounttextcolor = #acbc90
themes.zenburn.grouptextcolor = #efef8f
themes.zenburn.bannerfont = Terminus 8
themes.zenburn.bannerbgcolor = #1e2320
themes.zenburn.contactfontattrs =
themes.zenburn.state_inactive_color = grey62
themes.zenburn.state_composing_color = green4
themes.zenburn.contactfont = Terminus 8
themes.zenburn.contacttextcolor = #f0dfaf
...and that's my interpretation of Zenburn applied to Gajim.
You need to install an RTFM interface.

Thanks a lot for sharing, sir. I'll try to send a beer or two over to Croatia
