How do I make the my PyGTK app look a bit more like a `normal Windows app?
The Gtk Wimp project produces a theme that makes GTK+ look quite similar to Windows, and on WinXP it actually uses native calls to render them. See [gtk-wimp.sourceforge.net] for details and download. It is based on the Redmond95 theme but changed significantly. Note that Raleigh is also pretty close to windows (except for subtle colors and the optionmenu). John K Luebs offered this great explanation on what sort of differences exist, and workarounds if you don’t want to use Wimp: One important difference is the size of the fonts.

When you run the default GTK font size (can’t remember if its 10 or 12 points) at 96 it looks ridiculously big. This does not require a change of theme. You s
