No. My distro still provides the latest release of the original GNOME system monitor.
As time has gone on, GNOME have enforced more and more of their own look and feel, completely ignoring any styling that might be provided by other window managers. Some of those might even be using older GTK libraries, but that doesn't matter.
Basically if you run a modern GNOME app under KDE, MATE, Xfce, etc., it's going to look like a GNOME app regardless of what the other windows look like. Very Henry Ford.
The system monitor is no different. The new version works but the earlier version I found and installed also works fine and fits in. I suspect it's GTK3 (old) versus GTK4 (new), but I can't confirm. It'll be something like that.
The folks responsible for Linux Mint started the XApps project of GNOME forks to roll back some of GNOME's nonsense, but I guess they haven't got around to forking the system monitor yet.
... and I've looked at both Resources and Mission Centre. Neither are to my taste (and are both Flatpaks).
