It said I could put themes on there and I looked at the theme thing and it said "drag themes here to install them."

Idk how to change the look of pidgin.

Pidgin looks beautiful normally.
Use trillian if you're concerned about looks.

Pidgin's default is beautiful, why would you want to ruin it? God damn kids these days always needing everything sleek and pretty and don't appreciate simplicity and functionality.

It looks like a fucking 8 year old drew lime green circles for no fucking reason and then they slapped your buddy list on it.

If you want to make it look prettier easily switch to Linux  bassir;

GTK+ installs alongside Pidgin. Pretty sure it's required for Pidgin to even run.

I'm not sure where the directory is that Windows keeps GTK+ at. If you don't see a GTK+ theme selector icon in the start menu all programs list, try:
C:/Program Files/Common Files/GTK/2.0/bin

It has a few themes installed by default and a theme selector program in that directory. I'm not sure how to install additional themes, but the ones there should be good enough. The MS-Windows theme makes it look generally the same as all other programs you have in Windows. Clearlooks is another popular theme there.
