On Windows, the bundled icon theme is used, as no others get installed (Assuming you're using the Medsphere Gtk# for MS .NET installer, no idea about the mono + gtk# installer). On Linux, your desktop environment is probably supplying settings so you use the Tango or Gnome theme, etc. If you want to, you can install your own theme and set it to be used by updating the gtkrc. For example, I did the following to switch to using the Tango icon theme: 1) Copied /usr/share/icons/Tango from my Linux machine to C:\Program Files\Medsphere\GtkSDK\share\icons\Tango 2) Openned C:\Program Files\Medsphere\GtkSDK\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc in a text editor, and added the following line: gtk-icon-theme-name = "Tango" After that, running our application showed the Tango icons instead of the stock gtk+ ones.
