You need the correct gtk theme engine for the theme to look as it was intended.

whats the correct gtk theme engine?

What theme are you trying to use? Different GTK themes often will use different theme engines (e.g. Murrine, Equinox, pixmap, etc.).

Your best bet is to
pacman -S gtk-engines

That will give you a good selection. The customise look and feel in preferences on panel menu will be able to change the theme to something much less ugly.
