Comment(by MeV):

 I successfully added the MS-Windows theme (for better windows integration)
 to my application by using a code like this:

 {{{

 # First we have to know where gtk is installed, we get this from registry
 import _winreg
 import msvcrt
 try:
     k = _winreg.OpenKey(_winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
 'Software\\GTK2-Runtime')
 except EnvironmentError:
     print 'You must install the Gtk+ 2.2 Runtime Environment to run this
 program'
     while not msvcrt.kbhit():
         pass
     sys.exit(1)
 else:
     gtkdir = str(_winreg.QueryValueEx(k, 'InstallationDirectory')[0])
     gtkversion = str(_winreg.QueryValueEx(k, 'BinVersion')[0])

 #Then we want to go to the directory where the gtkrcfile is located
 gtkrc_dir = os.path.join('share', 'themes', 'MS-Windows', 'gtk-2.0')

 #Add gtkrc file to exe
 extra_datas = [ ('gtkrc', os.path.join(gtkdir, gtkrc_dir, 'gtkrc'),
 'DATA') ]

 #Add libwimp.dll to exe (needed for the MS-Windows theme)
 extra_binaries = [ (os.path.join(engines_dir, 'libwimp.dll'), \
                    os.path.join(gtkdir, engines_dir, 'libwimp.dll'),
 'BINARY') ]

 #Finally the EXE declaration should looks like this:
 exe = EXE( pyz,

           a.scripts,

           a.binaries + extra_binaries,

           a.zipfiles,

           a.datas + extra_datas,

           name = os.path.join('dist', 'myapp.exe'),
           icon = os.path.join('icon', 'myicon.ico'),

           debug = False,

           strip = False,

           upx = True,

           console = False )

 }}}

Comment(by MeV):

 I forgot to say that I had to use the following code to load my theme:

 {{{
 import os, gtk
 try:

     basedir = os.environ['_MEIPASS2']

 except KeyError:

     basedir = sys.path[0]

 #Use embedded gtkrc
 gtkrc = os.path.join(basedir, 'gtkrc')
 gtk.rc_set_default_files([gtkrc])
 gtk.rc_reparse_all_for_settings(gtk.settings_get_default(), True)
 }}}

 To use it, save the code into a file named 'useGTK.py' and add the path to
 this file to ANALYSIS
