gtkrc theme in Windows

0

While this question is a bit off topic of net sniffing, I am hoping someone might help. I am writing a Windows app using gtk. I see that Wireshark is a gtk app with a gtkrc file. My app works fine with the theme stuff on the developer PC but it doesn't when I try to redistribute. Certainly the Wireshark developers have figured out how to redistribute their app and still have the gtk theme work. Would any of the developers be willing to tell me what they had to do to get the gtk theme stuff to work on windows?

The best answer is probably to dive into the source code itself...

You can browse the Wireshark source code at http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/ - the "releases" view will let you drill down on a particular version.

You can find the GTK-specific code for the latest version at: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/releases/wireshark-1.4.1/gtk/

An old question, but I just happened upon it now while searching for something else ...

In a nutshell, Wireshark distributes the MS-Windows themed gtkrc file with the Wireshark installer, so that when the user installs Wireshark, [s]he gets a gtkrc file appropriate for the Windows environment.
