Re: Re: Any way to make GTK+ themes work under WIN32 port?

Ahh, I never was able to get themes working reliably with GTK+ 1.3. 
You're right about the engine .dll files being needed for the themes to 
run, and they are on my site--they're just included in the installer, 
not available seperately.  They're also compiled against GTK+ 2.0.x, and 
won't work with the 1.3 series.

For what it's worth, I've worked with both GTK+ 1.3.x and 2.0.x in 
Win32, and the 2.0.x series is really the only viable one for production 
use.  Not to say that it's perfect yet, but it's really come a long way 
in a rather short time.  I'd recommend porting over to it as swiftly as 
possible :)
