I will take a look whenever possible. I'm not aware if Skype uses native GTK
rendering and libraries, so if not, that might cause an issue.

IIRC, Skype is built on Qt4 and not GTK - but that might have changed since I
last
checked.

You're probably running skype under 64bits. The same happen to me. In fact,
newer QT
libraries can use the GTK theme, but skype keep being a 32bits application. So,
it
detects the gtk config and colors but fails to load murrine (since it needs 32
bits
murrine and the one installed is for 64bits).

I too have this problem - I think it is indeed related to the fact that Skype
is a Qt application -
as I get this problem with other Qt applications when using the Shiki-Colours
theme too.

Skype is built on Qt, yes, but Qt can pick up the GTK theme. It doesn't,
however, do
this in the case of Skype by default. To make it use the GTK theme, start is
with
the option
skype -disable-cleanlooks
This works with Skype 2.1

If you download the latest Beta of Skype for Linux (2.1.0.81) then you can set
the theme to
GTK+ in the preferences dialogue - this should then fix the problem as you can
see in my
screenshot.

This issue is not relevant anymore. Recent Skype versions pick up GTK+ theme
correctly.
