quick gtk theme hack for Xphoton
Cheap, quick hack to get gtk-themes to work under Xphoton by wicked.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

   Dont get too excited just yet. This will only let you change the colors of gtk apps.
(until i can figure out the libpixmap.so errors)  So here's what you do. Grab some gtk themes
           from gtk.classic.themes.org or transfer them from your linux box. Then if you havent already      
installed gtk1.2.0 and 1.2.8 from nexwarecorp.com do it now. From here on out you
*MUST* be root or it wont work ;-)

   Go into /usr/local/share/themes and make a new folder/directory called Default-old. Now go
 into the /Default folder and cut or move all the files into /Default-old. (This has to be done because
 for some reason we cannot rename /Default) This will back-up the original setting in case
something goes wrong or you just want the old generic look back.
 
   Now hopefully you have unpacked the themes you want to use already. If not do so now.
 Then select a theme you want to use ( i'll use Bubbles-GTK as an example) Copy all the files
 from inside the Bubbles-GTK directory and move them into /usr/local/share/themes/Default.

Next find the gtkrc file in /usr/local/share/themes/Default/gtk and copy it to .gtkrc in your
home directory. In other words you would do   cp gtkrc /home/user/.gtkrc from the
terminal or using filemanager copy it and paste it. Then rename it to .gtkrc
 
    Thats it. Start or restart xchat, gaim or any other gtk based Xphoton app. With any luck it
 worked and the apps are in a different color (depending on the theme you chose)  To change
 themes repeat the process over again.  It isnt the best, but it works on my system. Hopefully
 i'll be able to master the libpixmap.so errors soon, so that the 'entire' theme will work and
 not just the colors.

If for some reason it doesnt work or you want to revert back to the original settings, just
delete all the files in the /Default directory and copy the backup files from /Default-old
into /Default. Then delete the .gtkrc file in your home directory.

NOTE:
    If by chance you have cdm's port of gtk-1.2.10 this will still work except your themes directory
will be located in /usr/share/themes. Other than that the same steps apply.

A side by side of 2 Gaim clients. On the left is the default gtk theme, and the right
is the bubbles-gtk theme. Its only a slight difference in color because both
themes are grey colored. But notice that bubbles-gtk is a little darker.

       Here's a shot of xchat with the Blueheart-GTK theme.
What a nice shade of grey ;-) It now matches the color of phMp3.
