ProjectCenter (at SVN) support the in-window menu theme, there are some
other problems with native Open/Save panels and Make tool. I'm trying to
solve the problem with Open/Save panels and I think I will have the
solution in next days (this is a problem with WinUXTheme). The problem
with make tool have years and I don't have idea where is the bug.
Riccardo (Mottola) has been solved the problem recompiling GNUstep. This
problem is really odd.

WinUXTheme is a theme installed by GNUstep installers, so you don't need
install anything else. But you can get this at:
http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gnustep/plugins/themes/WinUXTheme/
This is a theme that take the colors and pixmaps of the current Windows
theme and make (dynamically) a theme for GNUstep apps. You only should
take care about the behaviour of your app when use the in-window menu. I
wrote an entirely section of this in a manual I will release soon, but
this is in spanish. However I can add a translation of this section at
GNUstep wiki. For other platforms you should use other theme, for
example the GTK theme or the Silver theme. See:
http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/Themes
In Windows you can set the theme for your app with the nsis installer.
On GNU/Linux and *BSD there are different ways to do this.
