Hi Kasper, As Allin said, you can get really good results if you stick with Gtk2 and use MS-Windows theme and libwimp.dll engine. As an example of that you can download audacious media player (https://audacious-media-player.org/download) and see how it looks like. For Gtk3 I got good results by
1) using the Windows 10 Gtk3 theme by b00merang Project ( https://b00merang.weebly.com/redmond-collection.html) 2) setting the right font (the one used by default in Windows) in etc\gtk-3.0\settings.ini. Add the line gtk-font-name=Segoe UI 9 Luca 2018-03-10 7:18 GMT+01:00 <lrn1...@gmail.com>: > On 10.03.2018 1:36, Kasper Peeters wrote: > >> I have successfully compiled a previously linux-only gtk-based program >> on Windows 10 using the vcpkg packages.
