Maybe theme not found.

Could be, the IDE is build in the install phase.
When the themes are not found just in time.

I do see 2 problems here.
You have icons from KDE and Gnome mixed in the IDE
The font in the project TreeView and menubar looks strange
compared to ABI word menubar.

As sugested by someone to use qtconfig sounds strange to me
when gnome is the default install, or is KDE also present on the box.
Second the purpose of qtconfig, as far I know, is to let the gnome
apps use the KDE desktop environment for the style as far as posible.

For the project treeview you can try with a change in Tools->General the fontsize select box.
What is the effect with Tools->General the Icon theme selection?
