Evolution is a Gnome application so you need to be playing with Gnome
and GTK themes.  What's more, you need to make sure you have enough of
the backend Gnome infrastructure running such that Evolution can pick up
the required information.  (In the past I would have said make sure that
gconfd is running, but I don't think Evolution uses much gconf these
days - perhaps it's dconf-service you don't have running.)
