I check and I really cant change icons in gtkrc files, I can chage only
with GTK API call. (under win)

Ok. You are sure.

I like to have a more "Windows compliant" icon theme on my GTK
applications (only under Win, on Linux all is fine), I make this with
API calls but I need to make it in all applications and is nice to have
a GTK package that dont need to make this.

I think that if I can compile my own GTK under Win my problems will be
solved, but I have a lot of errors. You know a tutorial that explain how
build GTK libs under Win or can help me to do this?

Thanks,
Everaldo.
