As it so happens, I also love

As it so happens, I also love the neat black themes in my apps. Some GTK apps really easy to skin, if you check with in App\Gtk\bin or App\gtk\lib, you can find a theme switcher. In the case of the GIMP, its not so easy, regardless of if its portable or not.

I've done it. I wrote this guide that you can follow on how to skin your GTK apps.

thanks very much my

thanks very much my friend!!

i find an other way (dont know if is a proper way)

-download the gimpers theme installer and install it (it puts the theme files to program files ...)

-merge the contents of the folder "GIMP-Themes v.1" (program files) with the contents of the folder GIMPPortable\App\gimp (some folders will be merged)

start Gimpthemes-v1.0.exe (located at GIMPPortable\App\gimp\bin) and choose your favorite skin
**Important -choose apply for all users-

then you can uninstall the gimper theme installer

This worked for me, but slightly different

- download the gimpers theme installer and install it (it puts the theme files to program files ...)

- This created two folders in (Program Files x86), my OS is Windows 7 64bit, the folder "GIMP-Themes v.1" and the folder "GIMP-2.0".

- merge the contents of the folder "GIMP-2.0" (program files x86) with the contents of the folder GIMPPortable\App\gimp (some folders will be merged)
The folder "GIMP-Themes v.1" had only two shortcuts, an ico and a readme text in it, so do not copy it or its contents.

- then you can uninstall the gimper theme installer

Thanks Noaven and OliverK.
