On the one hand, it depends on which application you are using, a thing you
don't mention.  (Because, if it is using GTK 1.x, then there is nothing you
can do).

However, if it is using GTK 2.x, the problem appears if you are using a theme
based on a binary GTK engine.  When running the application inside Linux
compat, it won't find the prebuilt engine, so it will fallback to a default
one, which will not match your preferences.  May be it will preseve some
colors, but that's all.

A solution could be to install a Linux-build of the required engine inside
/emul/linux, alongside with Linux's GTK2.  Something I've been thinking for
a while now...

Cheers
