And that's probably exactly why this is the developer's screenshot. They probably just threw together a basic theme here as a starting point. It is by no means "the best we can do", just one example. Black box is very customizable and this build even comes with a xDesignerGUI plugin by default. So you can make it look however you like.
boxshots.org has a gallery of many Black Box styles to show you whats possible. Maybe this is more your style:
I think this one is interesting (not that I think it's the best or would even use it).
Anyway the point of all these screenshot is not to say these are the "best" GUIs. That is mostly subjective and therefore impossible to say. It's just to show that you can fully customize the shell using black box.
