gitk is implemented in tcl/tk. I've searched around but there doesn't seem to be much you can do; it is scolded as ugly on Linux everywhere. And apart from using a hideous toolkit, gitk has been growing worse for me as they put in more functions (mostly not used) the UI becomes even more confusing.
So I instead of a solution I recommend gitg, which is a ...

Short answer: disabling XP themes definitely increases system performance and reduces the memory load.
Longer answer: Themes are basically a collection of graphic images that are drawn to the display buffer instead of using the older logic of using solid colors and lines. Because these themes often require resizing and/or tiling (and in newer incarnations: ...

Go to TextMate > Preferences and choose Bundles. Themes are in bundles in TextMate 2. In the Bundles tab, you can click themes near the top to filter theme-bundles.

Microsoft does something weird with the shortcuts for Office applications (and others). I don't know why they do this but I'm sure they have their reasons. Anyway, the simplest way to get around this is to create your own shortcuts to the Office executable files. On my Windows XP, Office 2007 box, those files are in C:\Program Files\Microsoft ...

Excerpt from my blog at http://alireza-noori.com/
Las week, I mentioned I tried to switch over to Windows 8, but I couldn’t do so because it was so bright for me. After a couple of days, I upgraded some parts of my PC and since I wanted to check out the UEFI booting speed of Windows 8, I figured I’d give it another shot.
After installation, I knew that I ...

tcl/tk 8.5 is actually themeable and looks rather native on Windows 7 and apparently on Mac. Less care seems to have been given to write theme engine bridges for it under linux, but you can do two things:
To get away from the "motif" look-and-feel to a slightly better one:
$echo '*TkTheme: clam' | xrdb -merge -
To have it persist between reboots add ...

I'm afraid that isn't possible unless there was a feature implemented specifically to do this, since Firefox uses native widgets. For example, an OK button on a dialog will look the same as an OK button in Firefox options. The goal is to make a general look and feel applied for all native apps. You can use themes though to change Firefox's look a little more ...

If you actually meant hacking .msstyle files, it's just as hard in Windows 7.
I think you will need to open the aero.msstyle file up using XN Resource Editor and modify the files in Photoshop. Or you could modify a custom theme that somebody else has made. You can find them, and other people who have done this, on Deviantart.
Personally, I don't think ...
