Using gaim 1.5.0.. I can't get the wimp theme to load.
I've just reformatted my computer... I installed 2.0beta5 initially, but decided I didn't like it, so uninstalled and reinstalled 1.5.0, but the wimp theme isn't installing? I have a different, uglier interface(for instance, when you're signing in at startup I am seeing a gray block status bar instead of the orange status bar that fills up)... Any ideas how I can install wimp theme? I want to think I've failed to uninstall the GTK files, so perhaps if there's any additional removal necessary than just running the GTK uninstall in order to clean install Gaim I would appreciate that info.. or if this is some other problem, just let me know how to fix ;p
Thx in advance
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
You may need to grab the standalone GTK+ 2.6.10 installer from the Gaim Windows page (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/win32/index.php#wingtk).
Run a search on your system for the .gtkrc-2.0 file and delete it (make a backup copy of it first and store it someplace else, to be safe), then try reinstalling GTK+ with the Wimp theme.
