Answer
Smuxi is picking your normal theme and is applying this for its own style as well.
Under Linux use your normal Appearance settings e.g. System --> Preferences --> Appearance.
For those not running under Linux you can use the GTK Theme Switcher to adjust theming.
The GTK+ Themes installer
gtk2-themes-2009-09-07-ash.exe
contains plenty of themes and theme engines, and GTK+ Preference Tool version 0.4.1.
You can get it here
When it asks for the install location you need to change it to the GTK# location, else it will not list the newly installed themes! The GTK# location is by default: C:\Program Files\GtkSharp\2.12\
After the install, you can change the GTK+ theme by starting "Change GTK2 Appearance" from the Windows Program Menu -> All Programs -> GTK2 Runtime
Please, restart Smuxi after changing a theme, otherwise it won't be applied.
If you want to download and install themes from http://gnome-look.org/?xcontentmode=100 you will either need to install 7-Zip or WinRAR, then extract the files into C:\Program Files\GtkSharp\2.12\share\themes\
Here you can see a dark GTK+ theme in action on Windows 7
