GTK Windows Impersonator unleashed

Please forgive me for posting a Windows related announcement, I hope you make an exception and post this one. IMHO, it is rather important given the fact that a lot of GTK/Gnome apps (Sodipodi, Gaim, Workrave, ...) are being ported to Windows these days...

GTK-Wimp is a Windows GTK theme that mimicks a Windows native look and feel by delegating the drawing to the Windows API, resulting in near perfect desktop integration, especially when you run XP. GTK-Wimp respects your system font and colors. Have a look at the results!

Re: GTK Windows Impersonator unleashed

With XSETTINGS there exists an easy to implement, platform independent (XLib-only) approach to communicate color settings between several desktop environments. It's implemented by Gtk+ 2.0 --- so now it on the KDE folks to implement this spec.

Well. The draft is available for nearly two years now... Together with the recent flamewars about using pkg-config, with the flamewars about A/B/C/D-Bus this tells us something about the attitude of the KDE folks about interop....
