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:

but that didn't work, so I tried:

To no avail. Where do I put them or is there a plugin to do this? The option appears to be available in preferences but iI don't know where to put them so it can detect them.

  • In this case, OS produces the dark theme; GTK's 'MS-Windows' acts as a 'transparent' layer showing what Win OS dictates and Pidgin's default theme similarly allows to show through what GTK is delivering. The end result is reassuring - dark windows in both buddy and chat windows with buddy group names appearing white on black.
  • Pidgin IM A universal instant messaging (IM) program. Smiley Themes Maximize Restore. Showing results of 97 # Sort A - Z.

Then you simply change the theme by manually typing in the theme you want to use (mine had “MS-Windows”, 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.

Have you tried restarting the app after putting the themes in the folder? Uninstall windows live messenger windows 10. Sometimes, applications only scan certain plugins or themes folders when they are started.

Thanks for the last update. Got me in the right direction.

However for Pidgin Portable, one needs to follow http://portableapps.com/node/23728 Look at the more detailed instructions in the message thread below the main explanation.

Pidgin Buddy List Themes

The instructions you use are speaking about the GTK theme, which only affects the buttons/menus/other controls. (And the GTK theme is set in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 in case you want to change that too.)

Smiley themes should be installed to ~/.purple/smileys/ (%AppData%.purplesmileys)

As Jesse alludes to, your gtkrc is found in C:Program Filespidgingtketcgtk-2.0 according to the What is a gtkrc file and where can I find it? FAQ entry.

I know this question is years old, but I stubmled across it recently. Here is a newer tutorial that uses Windows 7 and Pidgin 2.7.9 (which does not come with the GTK stuff installed)
