Exactly our issue as well. We have a GUI application designed for kids 
and need it colourful. We also have a admin GUI application designed for 
our franchises and needed custom (corporate) colours overall. We also 
use colour for input validation forms. Most of these worked when we ran 
under Windows, but not when it's run under Linux. Defeats the purpose of 
cross platform apps. Our custom drawn toolkit solves all these issues.

Which components? LCL-GTK2 does feel slow compared to other non-LCL GTK2 
based applications. GTK1 (I've got the Lazarus IDE compiled with in) 
seems okay.
