I just installed this lastest version but now my theme isn't right. I had aurora-midnight and now it's a like a mixture of aurora-midnight and standard windows. Any advice??? Tks.

Yup, try uninstalling themes and re-installing it.
That may work, i haven't tried it yet. =)

Agreed, I have Aurora Midnight on my Windows 7 and I often have to set another theme, then go back and reset it back to Aurora Midnight. No idea why it does that, but that is how I fix it, too.

It seems every time a new gimp version is downloaded and installed it messes the theme program up somehow.

Yep, every time you reinstall gimp, even if it's the same version you have to remove gimpthemes and reinstall it. Aurora midnight is my favorite too.

I love the loader colors. =)

It has something to do with the gtkrc document. I think if you save that when uninstalling and throw it back in after install it will work then.One of them writes the theme name out automatically when you choose it with the Themes program.Probably the one in the program path itself, as that one gets deleted on uninstall i think.

The location escapes me for the moment. Probably GTK folder somewhere.
