Now that I am “playing” with a Fedora 24 in VirtualBox, I found out there is an [issue with GTK 3.20](https://forums.archlinux.fr/viewtopic.php?t=18078) 😕  
It has been widely discussed during the last months on the internet as most of the themes (even Adwaita, default one) are broken.  
It seems it has nothing to do with Synfig but GTK version (I was under F23/GTK 3.18).

Use another GTK Theme  
As a workaround, you can try to install another theme and select it instead of Adwaita.  
On F24 (gnome), I installed breeze-gtk theme (sudo dnf install breeze-gtk\*)

GNOME  
From the terminal invoke gnome-tweak-tool, then select GTK+ appearance as Breeze (Light or Dark, as you wish 😉 )  
You will surely have to modify the Interface Font Name/Size (see the link on the top of this post for a settings example)

LXDE/Openbox  
You need to edit /home/username/.config/lxsession/LXDE/desktop.conf  
[GTK]  
sNet/ThemeName=Breeze

With an environement variable/desktop file  
A last possibility is to do a .sh file (with execution premission) containing a reference to the expected GTK\_THEME.  
It can be done this way per application.  
(And you can add an entry on your desktop pointing to it as well, sere [here](http://worldofgnome.org/running-gtk-applications-different-themes-per-app/))

> [@SynfigBreeze.sh](#):
>
> #!/bin/bash  
> GTK\_THEME=Breeze /path/to/synfigstudio

Hoping this will help 🙂
