No need to hurry.
I'm afraid there won't be any hurry in this case; too much else to
do.
In any case, this also looks relevant:

I found the part on the built-in win32 theme especially interesting.
Yes, that's one of the things I found too.
The current (GTK2) gretl for Windows uses the native Windows theme
by default, but also offers the "Clearlooks" theme which some people
might prefer. (Also "Raleigh", which is unadorned GTK2 and looks
pretty dated, but -- I find -- is at least always legible.) The
choice is under /Tools/Preferences/General.
