Summary

In this chapter we learned the process of rebuilding the Lazarus interface with a widget type other than the default Windows widget type, which uses the gtk libraries.

We downloaded and installed the all-in-one bundle of the gtk library for Windows and noted that it is possible to download the individual components of the library, if desired.

We rebuilt the Lazarus interface using the Configure Build Lazarus options in the Tools menu and set the profile to optimize the IDE build.

Once the interface was rebuilt, we learned how to set the gtk theme by creating the gtkrc file.
