I'm not the moderator, just a user who works with Gtk+ for quite some time... I've never tried to actually cross compile for Windows, while I did a full compilation on both - Linux and Windows (as I require certain OpenGL widgets support, which was quite poor for quite long time ... it got a lot better in past years).
Icons, among other resources, are missing from the source itself and have to be "shipped" outside of the libraries in 'share\icons\STYLE', next to executable. I believe this is mandatory as of now. I had to obtain the style separately and add it to appropriate locations. I'm not even sure you can include whole style for Gtk+ 3.x inside the library (although I might be wrong here!).
