This has now been fixed [1] in my devel branch [2], and should find its
way to trunk soon. Conduit now respects your theme (and theme changes),
and uses subtle themed gradients in the major UI elements. 

A lot of plumbing has been completed that makes it easier to apply these
themed attributes to the GUI, and I encourage those who are interested
in making it look prettier to check out the get_style_properties [3]
function in the appropriate widgets.
