the themes in linux control everything about the widgets, that means
everything on my desktop looks the same (not in terms of application
design, but buttons, scrollbars, borders, colours of active/inactive
titlebars, shades, translucency, etc).

if you need a custom look, you either need to build a themeing engine
into lazarus, or write a gtkrc file for your app (the right way, imo).
 then you can control everything.  if you just need a colour for your
form, doesn't a panel work?  (coloured panels work for me in gtk2, at
least).
