Re: [pygtk] pyGTK + windows + skins
Great link to the GUI theme changer. Just what I was looking for. I may take a shot at porting it to PyGTK for educational purposes. Will post if I get anywhere.

System-wide wise, you have to edit /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and place an include directive inside for your wanted theme's gtkrc.

Re: [pygtk] pyGTK + windows + skins
I did a bit of research on this for my own PyGTK project for Windows. Finally, I just spent a few hours trying to follow the GTK source. Here is what I came up with (this is just for the 2.x version): - The standard location for themes is /2.0/share/themes. You can drop any theme you want in there. - Theme engines go into /lib/gtk-2.0/2.2.0/engines. The only one included in the standard package is libwimp.dll. I have successfully built and used cleanice and xfce - it was quite straightforward if you have the GTK Dev package installed (I used Visual C++ 6). The tricky bit is how to tell GTK on Windows which theme to use. There are at least 3 ways to do this (though I have only tested 2): - Rename the theme folder in share/themes to 'Default'. This will then be the one used on the next execution of your GTK app. - Copy the gtkrc from the theme directory you want into /etc/gtk-2.0. (I also tried putting a shortcut in there instead, to no effect - would have been nice though). - (From the source) Put a .gtk-2.0rc (not sure of exact name at the moment) in your 'HOME' folder. The issue here is that every version of Windows gives you a different 'HOME' location. On my XP box, it is /Documents and Settings/. I personally prefer the second choice, since there is less room for error since you do not have to rename folders, you simply copy one file into a different location. And to get back to the original settings you just delete that gtkrc from the etc/gtk-2.0 folder. I was hoping to build a little theme-switcher in PyGTK, but have not found the proper incantations to tell an application to redraw itself (I am new at this PyGTK thing).

Re: [pygtk] pyGTK + windows + skins
Google search for GTK theme: "I'm feeling lucky": http://gtk.themes.org You know PyGTK is using GTK, don't you? By the way, I suppose you are using PyGTK 2.x, so look at the GTK 2.X themes.
