This is not a rhythmbox or gtk+ trouble, this is a theme trouble.

Quite all gtk+ themes use the same color for all widgets: so, for
example, you need bevels to "separate" buttons from other stuff. A good
counterexample is LighthouseBlue: try to open one glade mochup using it.

Yeah, IMHO this is the way: we can't build the typical menubar + toolbar
+ document/view application, but we have to respect all HIG rules about
single control/item
