Make Pidgin and GIMP on Windows XP use same theme
Jun 17
About this post: This tutorial, complete with screenshots, shows you how I got both Pidgin and GIMP on Windows to honor the theme I choose in the GTK+ theme selector applet. Now, may the frustration of interface inconsistencies end!

In your case, I believe you chose not to install the MS-Windows theme engine during setup, then installed Gimp Themes which then created a blank gtkrc file.
This is perfectly normal. All you need to do next is to copy your GTK+ theme folder to %ProgramFiles%\GIMP-2.0\share\themes (if the theme is not already there), choose your theme in Gimp Themes and restart GIMP.
If you still face problems, do let me know.
