RE: Theme not affecting titlebar on windows xp... help needed

["Plummer, Jeff-P56711" <Jeff Plummer gdc4s com>]

An application looks strange if the inside boxes have one theme, and the
outsides window has a different theme (i.e. default windows titlebar,
close, minimize, maximize buttons).

There has to be a way to make a windows application look like something
other than a boring looking windows app.

I think we've been here before.  

Window decorations are, on X11, a function of the window manager.  On
windows, they are a function of, well, windows.  GTK has nothing
directly to do with window decorations, other than to request a
particular type of window.

Why do you want your titlebar to be themed by GTK?
