I really think we should stick to non-themed forms. Most forms on the web and in UIs look like the standard OS widgets.
Perhaps a compromise would be to only theme the search and user login forms, and leave the rest as default to maximize accessibility. The other option would be to leave the standard button look but to change the colors. Yahoo does this, for instance.
Leaving them non-themed increases consistency and ability to quickly scan a page and figure out what is what.
