I think trying to make al the Windows users into programmers just so they can get a theme they like - something they always had in 2.x - is a crying shame. I've said it before, but I guess I'll say it again, I realize this application is developed primarily on Linux. That's completely awesome, but like many other cross-platform applications, I suspect the installed base of Windows users may eclipse all others. I've seen this before where the development platform takes second-fiddle to Windows as the most popular usage platform. I'm not trying to create debate on what platform is good for what, but I do think it's important to maintain feature parity between platforms. This theming issue on Windows should be addressed in an update soon.
That said, if it's as simple as getting some files, or adding a two-line file somewhere, please tell me where to go to get the files, where they need to be put, and what to put in a file. A tutorial on how to manually theme GnuCash on Windows is better than no option at all. Thanks!
