While searching for the documentation about the GTK, I found site with 
themes for it, http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/. After a unsuccessful 
tries to find something about installing these themes (I'm a newbie in 
GTK), I found theme consist of several parts - engine and some 
configuration/resource files. What I wanted to do, is to make any of 
this themes work.

After a bit of googling, I've found sources of pixbuf engine here: 
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/gtk-engines/2.2/ (As I 
understand, it's the equivivalent of pixmap engine, anyway it works). 
Finally, I've manually built it and placed in GTK modules dir (for some 
reasons cygwin's configure/make produces .dll which doesn't work and 
special win32 makefiles are outdated). And it works (I've tested it a 
bit on "Glossy P" theme from the link above)!

So themes under Windows is no question anymore. :)
