It's compiled with gtk.
Actually I would expect quite opposite, the NOGTK to look worse, but probably under KDE it's more sane to use NOGTK since start. Your pic looks quite ok, still far from latest KDE3.5 themes, not even mentioning KDE4, but decent enough to present in finished application.

Here is pic from the same executable in Gnome (instead of KDE, I do have both installed, so I can switch easily).

index.php?t=getfile&id=2193&private=0

Looks somewhat better, although some nasty cuts happened (left bottom - sort by radio buttons). Text fields looks to miss proper framing, but it's not obvious glitch, can look a bit like a desire.

Well, the whole open dialog layout in DbfView is probably not very standard, because for example TheIDE Ctrl+O does less cutting, although the non-native white background behind text fields doesn't look ok even there in KDE. In Gnome it looks ok, the framing works well and there's very little of original background remaining, so the white background fits there well.


Well, more bad by adopting work tools:

....
Ctrl::NoLayoutZoom();
....

I guess after commenting this out, it should be better.

Still, it looks like Chameleon / GTK should perhaps be more conservative. I think there obviously are some facets of appearance that are more prone to artifacts than others.

Maybe, as intermediate step, we could activate such problem-prone parts only in themes that are proven to work fine?
