 The important part is ''wxGTK2''. This means you are using GTK2. If you see ''wxGTK'' instead (notice there's no ''2''), then you're using GTK1.

 By running ''switch''/''switch2'' you'll be able to switch the GTK theme. Of course, you'll have to have some GTK theme(s) installed on your system.

+You can select a skin in Preferences->Gui Tweaks->Skin Support. Of course, to enable skins, the checkbox "Enable Skin Support" must be checked.
 Currently, there are two kinds of skins:
-* Client bitmaps
+* User skins
-* Toolbar bitmaps
+* System skins
-Both must be specified in the same text file. An example file is below. If you omit any option, aMule will use the default image. There are no restrictions on the image sizes, but gui may look weird if they are too big.

 This is a widget skinning. This means that you can change fonts, colours, shapes, sizes and behaviours of scrollbars, buttons, etc. But you won't be able to change aMule specific images and icons.
