[Gtk-sharp-list] Linux GTK themes on Windows

[Andy York]

At this point I would suggest opening the rc file and seeing what might 
be the issue there. I'm guessing that there are certain things not 
implemented on windows or perhaps an image that is out of place. I'm 
afraid from this point you will have to "pick away" at the issue. The 
details can be frustrating when you are trying to change styles in a 
manner that is not supported.

Sorry I can't be more specific at the detail level.
