Wow, thank you so much! I just downloaded and installed the 3.13.3
MSI. The new GTK themeing looks great and most importantly: syntax
highlighting works now! :-)
Haven't noticed any problems so far and I will let you know if I find any.

By the way, is the 3.13.3 MSI an official release? On the meld
homepage there is still 3.12.3 linked, but I was able to download the
3.13.3 MSI by simply changing the version number in the download URL:
https://download.gnome.org/binaries/win32/meld/3.13/Meld-3.13.3-win32.msi

Thanks again! You made my day :-)

Cheers!
