Hi,
I have Inkscape-0.42-1.win32. Its surface is made very well and I like it like this.
Yesterday I downloaded a new "Win32 build" version. It has a different surface - more crude, with heavy black lines and a dull grey color - but intresting functions. See: http://www.hagoschaos.de/test/ink.html
I would like to keep the old optic with the new functions.
Is there a way to adapt the look of the new inkscape to my wishes? (I found ...\Inkscape\share\themes\Default\gtk-2.0\gtkrc and was able to change the size of the large-toolbar, but I couldn't change colors or anything else)
Regards, Hago

The correct english term is "theme"

Inkscape uses the GTK toolkit from drawing its widgets. From the screenshots it looks like then new build is using the default GTK theme and the older GTK-Wimp, which is a theme intended to duplicate the Windows look and feel.

I think this is just a bug in the build you installed, as the intention is to have Inkscape using GTK-Wimp by default.

It should be possible to change the entire GTK theme and use Wimp

I want to point out, though, there are two issues.
1) I seem to recall that there might be some "issues" or "problems" with Wimp. People more familiar with the details would have to address whether or not we have it included/built ourselves, and what the different things are. So it could be that we released on Win32 with it for one version and not for a later version. A search on the user and developer mailing lists might reveal more.
2) The different widgets that Inkscape uses are not up to date with all of the standard ones in later versions of GTK+. Among other things our toolbar use predates the now standard ones, and they need to get switched over for Wimp to work the best it can. Bug number 1261339 specifically addresses this.
So at the moment you could probably switch the theme and get much to work, with only a few things not following as pretty as they could be. But that is know and is being worked on.

I doubt it was switched off due to some bug. More likely just not reenabled when going to the new 2.8 libs. We need to enable it back ASAP if we plan to do a release, so it gets at least some testing.
