Found the problem.

The GTKRC color setting section in the Zim documentation (
http://zim-wiki.org/manual/Help/Config_Files.html) is sadly wrong (invalid
gtkrc format) (owner: please fix it, working example below)

FWIW This works under Fedora 25, and gives you a fully solarized (dark) zim
experience. Assumes that your gnome desktop is dark. Matches solarized
themes in gnome-terminal / geany / gedit


Create the files
   ~/.config/zim/gtkrc-mine
   ~/.config/zim/style.conf

with the contents below.

To run zim you can use:

env GTK2_RC_FILES=~/.config/zim/gtkrc-mine zim

You can edit your .desktop file to make things easier.

gedit admin:///usr/share/applications/zim.desktop

and then replace the "Exec" line with the line above, but replace '~' with
/home/your_username

For the new desktop file content to kick in in the app menu, log out and
log in of the shell. To test your desktop file, just navigate with nautilus
to /usr/share/applications and double click on the zim icon.
