The Gtkpref or Gtk theme selector is a program created by Alex Shaduri that makes it easy to change themes under GTK+ 2.0 in Windows XP.

To use themes in GTK on Windows XP you need to download and install GTK+, GTK+ apps GIMP, GTK+ theme selector, GTK+ Engines and GTK Themes.

[edit] GTK Engines

GTK Engines are the library files that provide the additional configuration and alignment needed for themes to work in GTK.

The known engine list is

  • libBluecurve
  • libCleanice
  • libclearlook
  • libhcengine
  • libindustrial
  • liblighthouse
  • libmetal
  • libmgicchikn
  • libmist
  • libredmond95
  • libsmooth
  • libthinice
  • libxfce

[edit] GTK+ Themes.

These are the actual graphics of a theme. They contain a config file (gtk.rc) and all relevant graphics needed for the theme.

To install a GTK+ theme you need to both extract the theme to the GTK+ theme folder and install the GTK+ Engine.
