Either you can fill out the Gtk theme CSS files, as PHO has suggested 
above. For instance, you can load one of the predefined themes and then 
apply CSS changes on top.

The other option is to use one of the "settings daemons" that are 
typically part of a desktop environment, without loading all the rest of 
the stuff. For example, you can tune your theme settings in the XFCE 
Control center. Then, in your .xinitrc, run "xfsettingsd&" before ctwm. 
This will give you just the Gtk theme, cursor, colors and a few other 
things.

The Gnome equivalent is sysutils/gnome-settings-daemon.
