Hello John,

Are you running a GTK1 or a GTK2 version? It only works with GTK2.

Additionally, do a quick test by starting Ethereal by clicking on the
*program file* in the install directory (the shortcuts have a "Start
in" value which prevents the library to be used).

I tested with both the winXP theme (Silver color scheme is my
favorite) and with the classic theme. Both work (the widgets are taken
from the correct theme).

Regards,

Olivier
