Also you can try to switch the theme to see if the situation is improved.

Thank you, I will once I get my system set up. But see my response to Commaster, I think we can conclude now the issue is not really due to codeblocks or wx, but how non-Qt applications interact with the KDE desktop.
The remaining problem is that to solve the issue as a codeblocks-user you have to realise that a) KDE is Qt centric and b) codeblocks is not using Qt. A lot to ask, really. So the problem still remains an issue for codeblocks I think, because the average user would tend to think it is a codeblocks bug, even though technically it isn't.

Settings -> Appearance -> Color -> Options -> Disable "Apply colors to non-QT applications".
Hope it helps you too.

Great, thank you VERY much!
I am not too bad at searching for solutions myself, but this one I could not figure out, as I didn't understand the issue in sufficient detail to use the right search terms. But I can confirm that this really does solve the problem! :)
To help others who use KDE and possibly use the "Application Menu" alternative in KDE like I do , the path to the setting is a little bit different
Settings -> System Settings -> Appearance (headline) -> Color -> Options (tab) -> Uncheck "Apply colors to non-QT applications"
See attached for appearance after unchecking this option (I did a reboot also to verify it remains). I will mark this topic solved (except for the toolbar size issues).
Thanks again.

FYI, there's a great app in KDE, called Spectacle. I can feel so much pain in these phone-shots...
