In addition, Banshee will automatically load the following GTK
resource file if it is present, which allows you to do your own
theming if you want :
$HOME/.config/banshee-1/gtkrc

For more info :
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk/2.24/gtk-Resource-Files.html

And yes, this feature has been ported (in our gtk3 branch) to the new
theming infrastructure in GTK+ 3.0, which now uses standard CSS
notation :
