Hi! Since I use GTK2 for a project at work I can give some advice on this...

I have personally successfully built several engines with MinGW + MSYS + some hand tweaking: bluecurve, cleanice, galaxy, industrial, thincream, thinice, xfce, pixbuf (aka pixmap in GTK1). I also got other engines from a previous GTK/Win32 distro: lighthouseblue, metal, mist, redmond95, smooth, wimp. I think all Unix engines compile easily on Windows too, except maybe QtPixmap. All themes mostly work with some off-by-one glitch drawing seen on the right of some borders. I have submitted a patch to sourceforge to request their inclusion in the main distro a while ago, with no luck. Check the patches page on http://sourceforge.net/projects/gtk-win/ (I had to split the file in 4 parts). | The tricky bit is how to tell GTK on Windows which theme to use.

System-wide wise, you have to edit <GTK folder>/etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and place an include directive inside for your wanted theme's gtkrc. You can do it by hand or more easily use use gtk2_prefs by Alex Shaduri from http://members.lycos.co.uk/alexv6/, which will also let you change the font to use. -- Hope this helps, Fabien. _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk Read the PyGTK FAQ: http://www.async.com.br/faq/pygtk/
