Hi jon,

You don't say which version you are using. I had this problem a couple of years 
ago when I was running Mint MATE (probably about Evo 3.8.x). As I recall it was 
an issue of gtk2 not working well (which all or most of the Clearlooks themes 
are). At the moment I am running Evo 3.12 with Manjaro E18 and it works with 
beautifully with ClearlooksWise (a GTK2 theme which is part of 
Clearlooks-Colors). I have another comuter with Mageia 4 KDE, but unlike most 
KDE setups, it does not have the usual setting for GTK themes -- or at least 
not in the usual spot. However, Evo 3.10 worked without problems in it.

My best guess would be that you need to try a GTK3 theme or move to a more 
recent version of Evo.

Best,
Roy
