That sounds reasonable.
This is also why I want to distribute only x86_64 + GTK3 and not any possible variation of it as it would make maintenance just harder.

Maybe. I can't even switch the theme to any of the more modern ones probably because I deinstalled or disabled some component which is needed for this.
I tend to prefer old fashioned Windows look and feel as I'm used too ages ago :).
So, yes, you are right: both themes might look way better on a modern Windows theme (which probably most people are using).
