5.15. Win32: GTK WIMP (optional) for GTK 2.x

only

"GTK-Wimp ("Windows impersonator") is a GTK theme that blends well into the Windows desktop

environment."

GTK-Wimp can be used to get a native Look-and-Feel on WinXP machines, especially with the "col-

oured" WinXP theme. It will only take effect together with the GTK2 version of Wireshark.

No changes to the Wireshark sources are needed, GTK-Wimp simply changes the way GTK2 dis-

plays the widgets (by changing the GTK2 default theme).

Wimp is available at: http://gtk-wimp.sourceforge.net/.

Since GTK version 2.8 the GTK Wimp is included in the GTK releases where it's called "GTK MS

Windows Engine" now, so no need to download/install it separately if these versions used.
