I haven't yet figured out how to change the overall theme, but if you're looking to navigate your lists, you can use the J and K keys to move down and up the list.

I like the new scrollbar in Gmail and Google Reader. You have to get used to it.

Google Reader could have a design like Feedly, that has nice themes, colors and readability. And: you are lucky to work on a Mac, on an Apple device everything looks nicer.

I have the same dislikes. How can I change my Google Reader layout to the old one? I miss the arrows.
