GTK3 on windows themes

Hi

I use GTK3 on windows by installing the MSYS2

I then copy the GTK themes in the share/themes folder of MSYS2.

Is there a way to be able to copy them in my EXE folder?

Hi,

The places where GTK looks for system data directories (including themes) is described here: GLib.get_system_data_dirs

There is also an environment variable GTK_DATA_PREFIX, but mostly for debugging.

That said, it would be much better to use a GResource to embed the theme files directly inside your EXE, there are some examples here for icon themes, but should be similar for styles (replace icons/ by themes/ in paths).
