Sorry, this does not work any more. GTK2 wa predictable (kind of), but GNOME + GTK3 broke theming since GTK3 v1. They did not simply break it, they "improved" it with each iteration, so in case you had a working GTK3 theme you'd need to debug it for each iteration - and work your way through undocumented features. That was the reason why a lot themes vanished.
