settings (aqua vs graphite, or blue vs grey vs graphite vs...). However you need to restart Inkscape for colors to change after you changed them in OS X preferences.
Just a note (as I was on my way to ask this myself): My OSX is set to use Graphite (under "System Preferences" -> "Appearance"), but when I ran Inkscape before putting it into the "Applications" folder I got a "blue with orange highlights" theme (I already had Graphite set before running Inkscape), only after 'installing' it into "Applications" that the correct theme was selected.
On each start, Inkscape dynamically creates the GTK theme depending on your Appearance settings and writes it inside the app bundle (inside Inkscape itself). Therefore Inkscape should be in a place where it is writable and this is not the case in the distributed disk image, which is read only. It should work equally well if Inkscape is in Applications, on your Desktop, or anywhere else on your disc, as long as it is not in a read-only place. However you should have seen the ugly old theme and the fact that you see Blue+Orange is just a quirk caused by my lack of care (I bundled Inkscape after doing the Blue+Orange screenshot and it had this theme inside, instead of no theme at all). This will be fixed in the next dev builds. Anyway, this is not optimal and Inkscape should probably be writing those stuff and its preferences in ~/Library/Application Support/ Inkscape/. It should not be too hard to change this and volunteers are welcome!
BTW: these new themes are *awesome*, especially for my dirty-ugly- gray sore eyes, thanks immensely. And yes, it is incredibly amazingly utterly much more better than before (even though this phrase contains a few errors, that is just how much better it is!).
Thanks for the kind words, I am glad you like it (and graphite definitely rules ;) )
