Hi,

create your own theme that has another window background and load it at
runtime:
...
    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

    /* get system theme dir 
     * later add ~/.themes */
    theme_path = gtk_rc_get_theme_dir();

    g_print ("%s\n", theme_path);
    g_free (theme_path);

    /* change gtk theme */
    gtk_rc_parse ("gtkrc/gtkrc");/*or any other system available theme*/

    /* create a new window */
    window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
...

For fonts I don't know exactly, but I think it should be possible
without theming.

regards
Andreas
