It is actually the default on Windows.  You can use the standard Windows
facility to change the appearence of GPA and Sylpheed.

And Sylpheed-Claws or well Claws, as I am planning to include 2.9.2.

Given all the different default Windows sryles (W2000, XP and Vista alre
all different), I fear that we will need to update the screenshots to
often or even be required to publish several versions :-).  I think that
users don't have a problem to conclude that the screenshots are done
using a different style/face/theme.  A remark in the manual may be
justified.
