Note that what you call GTK-Wimp is actually called the "MS-Windows" theme and has been included in GTK+ itself for quite some time already. (Just the actual theme engine DLL is called "wimp". The theme and the theme engine source code is called "MS-Windows".) Before the client-side-windows changes (i.e. until 2.16) it, to the best of my knowledge, worked quite well in making a GTK+ application look more like an application that uses Microsoft widgets. (I refuse to use the term "native" as that would imply that GTK+ is somehow "emulated".) Then the use of XP-and-later features broke and was only recently fixed. In current git in the gtk-2-22 and master branches the ms-windows theme now again works, and the latest Windows builds of GTK+ (2.20.1-3) on ftp.gnome.org have those changes. Note that the ms-windows theme is not the default unless you make it so, typically by using an etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file that contains the single line gtk-theme-name="ms-windows". >> I grepped the source code and there is no mention of GetSysColor, Try grep GetSysColor modules/engines/ms-windows/*.c . > The default theme engine, that is included in Gtk+, uses, of course, the > Gtk+ theme. As I said, the ms-windows theme engine is also included in GTK+. (At least in the source code, and also in "my" binaries on ftp.gnome.org, linked to from www.gtk.org. It might of course be that some other packager has chosen to leave out the ms-windows theme engine and theme. --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
