I have to partially retract what I wrote earlier.
I spent the day testing all 200 basic EuGTK test programs on Windows 7, and all but 3 or 4 ran perfectly, and look identical to, if not better, than similar Windows programs.
The only difficulties were:
1. svga images, but I think that's a Windows problem, since Windows Explorer can't display thumbnails of svga pix either.
2. theme icons - I may not even know how to install icon themes for GTK under Windows.
Both of these problems are easily avoided by doing what Windows programmers have done for ages: ship the icons along with your program.
3. latest 'widgets' not available. There are a few (2 or 3) new widgets just added to Gtk 3.14, obviously they don't work on Windows, which is using 3.6 or so.
4. pixbufs can't be resized 'on-the-fly'. Again, not a show-stopper, and I think I may be able to fix this one.
