Pidgin Themes Windows
A set of native Windows notification styles to use with Guifications for Pidgin IM
I am trying to apply a theme to Pidgin in Windows 7 but cannot find out how. I looked here which tells me to place them in: C: Program Files Common Files GTK 2.0 share themes but that didn't wor. Thus you have to install themes to Pidgin folder. And I changed it to the new theme folder I dropped into the Pidgin folder in Windows). If you’re on Windows 7 (or perhaps Vista as well), you’ll have to save the gtkrc file into your Documents directory. Then just copy the file, navigate in Windows Explorer back to the gtk-2.0 directory. This version of Pidgin downloads an appropriate version of GTK+. GTK+ is now installed locally for Pidgin, and not system-wide, thus Pidgin will not interfere with other GTK+ apps on your system. If you would like to have GTK+ included in the installer, we have an offline installer that bundles everything except spell-checking dictionaries.

Introduction
Thanks for trying these themes. I hope you find them beautiful and massively useful.
I have very high standards, and I'm very proud to use these themes on a daily basis. I would certainly hope you don't find any faults in my work! But, if you do, then I welcome your feedback either on the submission page on DeviantArt, as a comment the SourceForge tracker, or on GitHub.
Installation
Every Guifications theme is located in the Themes directory inside your Pidgin user directory. To get there, browse to:
- Windows XP:
C:Documents and Settingsyour-username-hereApplication Data.purpleguificationsthemes - Windows Vista and up:
C:Usersyour-username-hereAppDataRoaming.purpleguificationsthemes
If you've just installed Pidgin or Guifications, make sure it is running and the plugin is enabled, otherwise the directory may not exist yet.
Extract the 'themes' directory from this archive and move all the contents there, so that all the theme names are visible under 'themes'.

Then, just go to the Guifications options window via the Plugins window, to see the list of available themes (refresh if the window is already open). Unless you want to do advanced per-user theming, make sure only one theme is enabled - this will make sure the correct one is used.
One final note: these themes have only been tested on Windows. The Windows 10 themes reference the Segoe UI font, which probably won't exist on Linux distributions.
Customisation
Need to fine-tune your own colour scheme, or add other personal touches? I've given you all the files you need to get started! They're in the source directory.
Every theme file is derived from one of three theme XML files. The layouts for all Windows XP and Windows 7 themes are the same; only the text colours change. Select the most suitable one based upon the average brightness of the background image:

All images are made from pages and layers in the source.png file - an Adobe Fireworks CS3 file. If you have Fireworks, you can modify layers and export to make a derivative theme. The Windows 10 images are not provided in the source because they are literally flat colours - you can alter an existing background in Paint or any other program.
Be careful with transparency - it looks like any alpha value that is less than 100% is rendered completely transparent by Windows, and for that reason, none of my themes use translucent backgrounds. If you know why, or better still, have a workaround, let me know!
