Fred, Riccardo, Adam and I have been working on Windows lately and it's now more stable than ever. A good windows theme might help, but actually some of the color schemes we already have work very well indeed.
I agree that allowing for native-appearing GNUstep apps under Windows is a great idea... but I don't think that's doable in the context of a theme. Theming support is essential for GNUstep (obviously), but with Windows, I think we need to really be using native widgets. There are just so many ways that a Windows machine can be customized visually, that a theme will almost always feel out of place (not to mention what we make that GNUstep theme look like: XP or Vista or... something else). I have no idea how this would be done technically, but it's most certainly the best way to give the feel of a truly native application.
That, or we throw away native conventions entirely and go the iTunes/Safari on Windows route.
