Note that, by default, no gtk-3.0.css file will be created so you have to create one manually. Then add the CSS rules or copy values from an existing theme. There are plenty of GTK3 theme resources caused by the fact that CSS is a widely-adopted standard for UI styling and many people are familiar with it.
