gtk+ 2.0 Change Theme

As the name suggests, this little program lets you change your gtk+ 2.0 theme. The aim is to make theme preview and selection as slick as possible. Themes installed on the system are presented for selection and previewed on the fly. For a comprehensive demonstration there’s a large variety of widgets.

It was originally derived from Gtk Theme Switch, but what started out as a hack to remove various nuisances now shares no code whatsoever anymore with the original. This is why I decided to opt for a new name.
