GTK+ theme support seems like a mess on Windows and i wouldn't bother
with that. if someone has quick solution to propose, please go ahead.
also..looks like GTK+ uses a global "runcom" file for setting the a
theme for all applications at once, which is a bit limiting.

Qt's QSS is smarter and you can do whatever you want in there (e.g.
dynamic properties).
