Thanks. I dont like to apply non-standard window decorations as well but users like it. I think i better give up on skinning the tittlebar. Anyway, more questions regrading the theme selection. How to override the default theme selected by GTK+? and what the function of theme engine ? > Date: Sun, 30 Mar 2008 10:45:14 +0200 > From: tml iki fi > To: evert_chin hotmail com > Subject: Re: Theme Engine, What is it? > CC: gtk-list gnome org > > > How can I skin the titlebar of my application with selected theme? > > If you are talking about GTK+ themes, you can't.
