How do I make the my PyGTK app look a bit more like a `normal' Windows app?

The Gtk Wimp project produces a theme that makes GTK+ look quite similar to Windows, and on WinXP it actually uses native calls to render them. See gtk-wimp.sourceforge.net for details and download. It is based on the Redmond95 theme but changed significantly.

Note that Raleigh is also pretty close to windows (except for subtle colors and the optionmenu). John K Luebs offered this great explanation on what sort of differences exist, and workarounds if you don't want to use Wimp: One important difference is the size of the fonts. The reason the default font looks so big is because Windows has a default res of 96 dpi.

When GTK was first released, most people were running with monitors that were actually around 75dpi (I bet you that even today this is still the case) and therefore most people were running their X server at 75 dpi. When you run the default GTK font size (can't remember if its 10 or 12 points) at 96 it looks ridiculously big. This does not require a change of theme.

You ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
