Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Found a difference about the source code versionand the setup version

[Kelvin You <kelvin.sdc@xxxxxxxxx>]

the install-deps command doesn't copy the

GTK_WIMP_DIR=$(ETHEREAL_LIBS)\gtk-wimp

to the source code directory, so when I run the ethereal in source code directory, it doesn't use the GTK-Wimp.

Thanks, setup the ethereal with the GTK-Wimp or not will cause the different appearence.

Have you tried changing the theme? On windows you can change the GTK theme used by the Ethereal.

 

I see the following comments in the new config.nmake file that comes with 0.10.14.

 

# If you have GTK-Wimp, set this to the pathname of the directory in
# which the files are stored.
#
# If you don't have GTK-Wimp, comment this line out, so that GTK-Wimp isn't
# defined.
#
# Please note: GTK 2.8 (and later?) includes GTK-Wimp
# (in this case these GTK-Wimp related settings will have no effect)

 

What you might do is download some different themes and see if this changes the behavior.

 

Ethereal on Windows uses the GTK runtime engine, themes can also be applied to customize the look and feel of the program. Themes can be changed by downloading a new theme and placing it into the proper theme directories. One popular Windows runtime GTK theme site is...

On Windows copy the share files to the directory \Program Files\Ethereal\share\themes\Default. Then copy the lib files to the directory \Program Files\Ethereal\lib\gtk-2.0\<gtk_version>\engines. Then close Ethereal and relaunch.

Note: it is important to apply themes for the version of GTK you are running. The GTK information is listed in the Ethereal about box.
