Remember that Futurama episode where Bender plays God, and ends up killing everyone? And God is all, "If you've done things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all"

I think its a similar thing here. On Linux (I use stock ubuntu.... I feel like, every time I theme, or customize, linux, it all goes down hill for me. So I stick to the beaten path) and mac, it fits it seamlessly. And on windows, its been perfectly native for, a long time. 

@eht16 I like the B00merang-Project/Windows-10 look best so far. It doesn't "quite" look like GTK2, but its close to native (I wonder if the low contrast is bcz of windows 7, vs windows 10. I suspect that 7 is a dying art). 
"Prof-Gnome with SVG support" is pretty, but doesn't look native. The settings menu itself isn't bad. I don't like the pretty blue checkboxes, I like the flat crisp black-and-white ones better, but, thats not a hill worth dying on. 
Looking at the menu bars tho, yours look very out-of-place on windows

On geany 1.36/GTK2, it looks so native, that you wouldn't even know to think about how native it is (see Bender being God again)

Although I do enjoy the windows 95 / mac OS april fools prank. A lot of my coworkers use mac (I can't stand it myself, to each their own) and I would CRY laughing if you did that to them. (I may have some scripting to do, and some backdoor SSH keys to plop in...... and only 3 months to do it.....)
