Yes. You're missing a w32 theme. At some point makefiles were altered to not to install it (i think it was a side-effect of some other change; w32 part just never caught up). If you want to see it, find the <gtk source directory>/gtk/theme/win32 directory, drop its contents in %LOCALAPPDATA%/themes/<themename>/gtk-3.0/ and rename gtk-win32.css to gtk.css After that ctrl+shift+I in any GTK3 app and change the theme. Putting theme name into settings.ini should also work at that point (didn't test that though). The w32 theme was not updated for, like, a year, and lacks some parts (namely - proper CSD support, so window edges are rectangular and lack shadows). Adwaita is the default now, even on W32.
I wanted to disable CSD, but also had no luck. I want at least to have native window decorations. Shadows are also drawn by GTK, I suppose, and I want native window borders.
I've just tried, and i couldn't do that. It used to be possible (or, rather, windows were CSD or non-CSD depending on how the developer set them up; generic dialogs were controlled by the gtk-dialogs-use-header option in settings.ini), but right now CSD is always enabled for everything. I can't tell whether it was intentional or just a side-effect of some changes in W32 part of GDK and/or changes in GTK itself.
The behavior of the window is also not obvious. When I click application icon in my taskbar, it first grabs focus, after I click it again, it loses focus, not going down. All other applications first grab focus, and after second click it minimizes.
Yes, that is inconsistent. Most likely GTK doesn't handle certain Windows messages correctly. One could run a GTK app in GDK debug mode that spews Windows messages and see which messages are coming. Do note that this feature only works on applications that are not grouped in taskbar (i.e. ones that only have one window, or when you have very few windows opened). If windows are grouped, clicking on their corresponding taskbar buttons will not hide them, but will bring up the window-selector subwindow, and clicking on a window in that selector will not hide it either. That's probably why i haven't noticed it before.
Are there related bug reports open for there issues?
The window-hinding-from-taskbar - i don't remember seeing any. The theme thing - kind of (some half-dead bugs about classic W32 theme, some partial patches in CSD-related W32 GDK bugs that didn't go in, etc).
Any tips on customizing GTK on M$ Windows?
Apart from what i've detailed above - not much. There are some gtk-xft-* options you might want to set in settings.ini, but that's it. AFAIU the Gnome policy is that all customization is done globally in the theme, and maybe there are some options (like the things in settings.ini; an equivalent of Gnome Tweak Tools). -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - www.asciiribbon.org
