==As of 0.4, coot works with gtk+2==
This permits use of themes for a more OSX-like experience, among other things.
Click on the thumbnail image below to see a full-size screenshot of Coot with a gtk+2 Aqua-like theme.

To get this effect, you need the Glossy_P gtk+2 theme:
http://art.gnome.org/download/themes/gtk2/571/GTK2-Glossy_P.tar.gz
Edit a file called ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and put into it the following line:
include "/usr/share/themes/Glossy\ P/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"
Alternatively, if you use gnome or xfce4, you can open the theme manager and just make it open the downloaded Glossy_P tarball, and it should add this as a theme.
