Thanks for this suggestion. Could you please elaborate/explain what this means, what the desired effects are, and how this would affect users with an already existing gtk setup? Thanks.

No problem.

I mean that the default look and feel of the Windows version of gnucash looks all dull, grey and squarish. After I have copied file 
C:\Program Files\gnucash\share\themes\MS-Windows\gtk-2.0\gtkrc 
to 
C:\Program Files\gnucash\etc\gtk-2.0\gtkrc
gnucash looks more in place and integrated with other Windows applications.

Since gnucash uses its own gtk, doing the above will not affect users with already existing gtk setup (if such people exist on Windows).

Screenshots before and after attached.

Keep up the great work,
Robert

Whoa. Thanks for the screenshot, this is convincing enough.

I'd propose to add the following to dist.sh:

Applied in r16340. Thanks a lot.

just an FYI, the windows theme suffers from bug 432021
