Hey guys,
today I'll be leaving for Lyon, where I will hold a course on design and public relations. I thought I'd be really cool to have Inkscape as a small giveaway, but frankly unlike gimp the win builds have the standard gtk-theme included, which doesn't really rule that much. What would be cool is to have it build with GTK-Wimp (and my icon theme) I'm not sure, how big of a job that is, but if it's easy to do, I'd really appreciate someone doing this within the next week, so that I can already distribute it.
Thanx!
David

IIRC, the only reason we haven't been bundling Gtk-Wimp already is that on some versions of windows it generates long streams of assertions about fonts.
I'm not a windows user myself, but perhaps bulia or someone else could fill in the details.

There's actually two reasons that it's not part of the build process: 1 You don't really "build" with Gtk-Wimp, you just insert the files into the Gtk runtime tree. The instructions are on the website. 2 As of 2.6, I believe, Gtk-Wimp has been integrated into the Gtk code base, so it is unnecessary if that version is used for Win32. We are working on that, somewhat. This probably gets rid of the warnings.
So all you really need to do to enable Gtk-Wimp, if it is not working already, is to get an Inkscape .zip distro, unzip it, get Gtk-Wimp working, and zip it up again.

Try this. Take an Inkscape win32 .zip build, and tweak it like this:
1) In the /share subdirectory, make a subfolder named 'themes'
2) Drag the gtk-wimp folder (which is already in /share), into themes
3) Rename it to Default. Now it should be: (your inkscape dir)/share/themes/Default
Restart Inkscape. It should have your theme now.

I just did a CVS build, and made two .zips, one which is our typical build, and one which has the tweak above, so that people can see what I mean:

I had forgotten that we definitely do have Gtk-Wimp in the distro. But yes, we definitely turned it off in the last release for that reason.. to avoid the warnings.
What -should- have been done (and I thought that I had done it) was to put a README in the distro describing how to turn it on.
As mentioned earlier, when we make a new compilation of Gtk libs for the Win32 builders, this should no longer be an issue. Gtk-Wimp will be a natural part of Gtk.

Hey, just came back from a great week of Lyon and Paris... I'll look into this and other issues discussed on Wednesday. Thanks for your replies!
