I did not have any GTK apps on my PC so I first installed 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk-win/gtk2-
runtime-2.16.4-2009-07-08-ash.exe?download and the themes found at http://
downloads.sourceforge.net/gtk-win/gtk2-themes-2008-10-22-ash.exe?download.

Next I downloaded PAN from 
http://paninstall.googlepages.com/pan-0.133.git090727.exe and installed 
it.    Next I exited Pan and changed my theme using the GTK2 theme selector.   
Restarted Pan and it had 
no effect.  

This AM I uninstalled everything and started from scratch.  I installed GTK, 
then the themes and next 
installed Pan.  Changing themes still has no effect.  :-/

The only odd thing, if you can call it that, is that whenever I make a change 
and save it in the theme 
selector it prompts me asking if I want to overwrite my .gtk2rc-2.0 file but I 
suspect that is normal.

Oh, one last thing.  The GTK installer asked me where I wanted to install the 
dll's, in either the bin or lib 
dir.  It defaulted to bin so I went with that.  I uninstalled and tried 
selecting the lib dir, still cannot get Pan 
to use the selected theme....
