as Marcus said, you are using a GTK2-only theme and in addition parole uses symbolic icons without the fallback mechanism which breaks in the way shown in your screenshot if your theme doesn't include a symbolic icon theme as well.
Now I'm using GTK2 & GTK3 theme: Clearlooks-Phenix. All is OK (nearly).
It has not been updated for current GTK3 versions so there might be some visual quirks.
parole uses symbolic icons
Why? Am I visually impaired? No. I want to see/use full-colored icons in menus and everywhere. No other app uses symbolic icons because we run Xfce and not GNOME.
GTK3 uses them internally as well, e.g. the filechooser, so there is really no way around it. Adwaita has now been intgrated into GTK3 3.13 so the Adwaita icon theme with its symbolic icons is assumed to be present by GTK3 applications.
https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/HIG/IconsAndArtwork Full-color icons should be used for devices, filetypes/mimetypes and application (launcher) icons. All other icons should use the symbolic icon style. In addition, symbolic icons should always be used inside:
Buttons Lists Entry fields When the background is semi-transparent (such as overlaid media or fullscreen controls)
Really? What a stupid idea? Again: we run Xfce.
One more issue is there: http://susepaste.org/view/simple/53310299 "Don't install" or "Install" doesn't work at all. I don't remember if it was happened in GTK+2 build.
That dialog comes from Parole (and is completely superfluous), if you click on "Install" it brings up another dialog from the gstreamer PackageKit plugin asking you the same again and then allowing you to search for and install missing codecs. If the gstreamer PackageKit dialog doesn't come up, make sure you have PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin installed and try starting parole from a terminal to see any errors from PackageKit.
It doesn't work. PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin is installed. % rpm -q PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.8.16-4.2.x86_64
