But do you really find it native-looking? To me it looks pretty different than any native application (try to compare it with Notepad++ for instance). And have you tried how the dialog "Build->Set Build Commands" looks? A theme where you can't distinguish individual widgets isn't a good choice no matter how nice it looks (and to me it doesn't even look nice).

Don't get me wrong - if there were a theme that looked native and where individual widgets were distinguishable (which is the case with native applications), I'd vote to go for it. In fact, on macOS I previously used this theme

which in theory looked more native but it suffered from similar problems like the Windows 10 theme. Usability should have a priority over appearance IMO.
