It's actual name is GTK-Squashed.

It isn't a style. It's a set of modifications to the GTK+ lib to make widgets 
smaller and take up less screen space.   Myself and another tinker who's name 
I can't remember ATM (It's Monday morning, please forgive :) compiled the 
original set of modifications for GTK 1.28 from mvista.sourceforge.net. They 
worked out well. We tinkered a bit more and them put the library in a feed for 
people to play with.

Eventually the patched where ported to the version of GTK+ that Familiar uses 
and placed into the Familiar feed(s). I also seem to recall that some work has 
been to the File and Color Select dialogs to make them works for the smaller 
IPAQ screen.

GTK-Squashed is in Familiar, but it's been overridden by the Thinice theme 
ipkg that are installed my task-x. IF you ipkg remove gtk-thingreeber and 
gtk-engines-thinice .ipk's, you can see GTK-Squashed.
