[SOLVED] Some applications look different (ugly) then they should be

Im using XFCE 4.10 and I found some of program are just different then in screenshots. The current theme I have (nor any other I tried) didnt changed that, they're always the same, for example, buttons, progressbars etc. stay same & ugly. Here are screenshots of Audacious from official website and my screenshot:
Audacious from they're website:

My screenshot:

Screenshot of my current theme (which obviously not fits into my Audacious)

I dont know why this happens, even with gedit.
Thanks.

XFCE has two display settings, one under Appearance and the other under Window Manager in the Settings Manager. Both influence how windows look like.

Buttons, progressbars, checkboxes.., they are all THE SAME, ugly, no matter if I change "Windows Manager" theme or theme on "Appearance". Every other application changes normally, it's checkboxes, buttons etc. depending on theme, except "those few" applications, they stay same as they were before, as in My screenshot.

Audacious is GTK3 so you'll probably need to set it up by copying over your theme to ~/.config/gtk-3.0, symlinking it, or creating a settings.ini file there.

I just symlink it:

ln -s /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0 ~/.config/gtk-3.0

Adapt for your GTK3 theme and see if it works.

EDIT: Here's a thread discussing the topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=116451&p=1
