You probably have an older theme originally made for Windows. Gimp themes are
not always interchangeable Win / Linux.

If you want a Dark Theme for Gimp 2.8.20 try the ones here:
https://github.com/draekko/gimp-cc-themes There are screenshots on the web page.

Just tried the very dark in Kubuntu 16.04 / Gimp 2.8.20 and it works ok. Some
parts will always be light - brush dialogue background for example.
