I have tried to get themes using the libpixmap.dll to work in the gnope distribution and made it work.
1. From the glade2 directory copy glade2.exe and gtkthemeselector.exe to the gnope path ie c:\gnope
2. Edit C:\gnope\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc and change the theme gtk-theme-name = "H2O-gtk2-Ruby" (Important: Clear out all other lines in this file.)
3. Download the theme from http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 ie H20-gtk2-Ruby
Put this in c:\gnope\share\themes
4. copy the engines from the glade2 for windows to the gnope engines directory: ie. C:\Glade2\lib\gtk-2.0\2.4.0\engines
C:\Gnope\lib\gtk-2.0\2.4.0\engines
5. Run glade2 to check the themes are working. Run gtkthemeselector to change the theme
6. Build app using gtk2 and glade.
Cheers
Rob

Hey rob. What version gtk did the pixmap engine you are using come from? And if possible what site did you get it from?
I have followed your instructions, but I only see colour changes on widgets, ie. it's not using the libpixmap.dll engine.
from: gtk-win32-2.8.8-rc2.exe
I know the pixmap engine works with it's install of gtk it came with, just not dropped into gnope.

Gnope itself installs and uses Gtk 2.6.9, if that is of any help for you.

I had to re-do this to figure out which libpixmap.dll worked, the one that comes with glade2 for windows (v2.10.0 - 29k) does not, and there is not one in the gnope 1.0 - any chance this can be included in 1.1?
6mb download, copy the libpixmap.dll engine from the gtk-themes-win32\lib\gtk-2.0\2.2.0\engines directory to your share\themes\gtk-2.0\2.4.0\engines
Looks like going backwards a version but it works.
let me know if this works

This is where I found the article about it: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-app-devel-list/2003-September/msg00009.html
Maybe someone can recompile it for gtk+ 2.4.0 ?

Sorry correct that, the dll needs to be copied from gtk-themes-win32\lib\gtk-2.0\2.2.0\engines to lib\gtk-2.0\2.4.0\engines

That did the trick spot on.
Great work guys.
I would also put in a +1 for seeing even just the pixmap engine (50kb) included in gnope. I have it deployed to a few machines at the automotive dealership I work at, using the wimp engine on xp machines, and the pixmap engine - vista theme on others. Most users here like the conststancy.
I also add a couple of standard php modules to the gnope install - curl and sqlite (also needs pdo). Other than that great work.

I pondered long with the decision what modules to include in Gnope, but I can't include all - file size would be too big. Or doesn't that matter? 8 instead of 6 MiB?

(total zipped size = 172k and gives mysql and sqlite support using pdo)
lib\gtk-2.0\2.4.0\engines\libpixmap.dll
share\themes\Metal\gtk-2.0\gtkrc
Set default theme in etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc to metal
All thats needed then is to take the updated NDIS file and add the package that you need to install on the client machine, and recompile a new distro.

That's a wish I can't fulfill - PHP-Gtk shall look as integrated as possible, thus I chose the Wimp-Theme. One could perhaps deliver some more engines and themes, but not as default theme.

The Problem is, that every developer needs other packages within his application. At the time you start to include one module, another developer has the wish to include the next module and so on.
While your gnope-PHP5-Version is the same, as the current PHP.net-Version, developers can easily download the modules they need.
I've done it so, because some PECL-Modules and Standard-modules have some nice additional features, I can use in my application

I personally dont mind adding the extra modules I need, it's not too much hassel. 8 meg i dont mind to much either, i only need to download it once.
I do like wimp, but i have noticed that there are not as many icons on the default 'ok' and 'cancel' buttons etc.., but I would still use it. Looks nice and natural on xp.
它让我们下载的那个 DLL 包中还有非常多的 Themes .图中为我中意的一个,如果加以改进是可以弄出一个商业版本的.
