How To Install a Theme On Portable Pidgin?

Submitted by Amarus on April 25, 2008 - 5:18pm

I recently made the move to not install software that have a portable version to help keep my computer registry much cleaner and smoother. [So far so good] When I had pidgin installed on my PC installing and using a theme was easy as typing this post, now with the portable version have no idea as to how to use any themes. The portable version comes with the pre-installed themes at "~PidginPortable\App\GTK\share\themes" and while it looks like the GTK2.0 Them installer is installed at "~PidginPortable\App\GTK\share\gtkthemeselector" it really isn't. All there is in that folder is the GTK logo icon.

Now if I have to download and install it, where would I get it? Can anybody help me out with this.

Thanks.

There is a post

about changing the Pidgin Theme here. I hope it helps - the worst case is that its for an old version and doesn't work anymore Smiling.

Maybe there are other posts about that here, just use the search box.

Thanks for linking me to that thread. Now I can rock some cool themes.

For the record the GTK Theme Selector is located at
