Once you get over the learning curve, you can really do some cool
stuff.  The hard part is over!

GTK+ is the best-looking toolkit that I've seen.  Normally, the
appearance of the widgets is handled by the theme.  Overriding them is
possible (though I couldn't tell you offhand how to do it) but is
generally not a good idea.

If you're using the default theme, might I suggest you try something
like Clearlooks or Industrial?  Beyond that, ask more questions and
make them specific. ;)

Hope this helps,
Andrew
