Remove (reset) the style of a GTK+ Window

I made a simple application with a window and some buttons on it.

On my Debian Linux the button looks nice, but if compiled and ran on Windows 7, it is very simple (and "ugly").

I want to use my own code for drawing the buttons. To do that, I connected a signal to the expose event.
In the event callback function, I draw a decorated rectangle and then call the "child" expose event:

Code:

// Calling the expose event of the button's child (in my case, label) 
(*GTK_WIDGET_GET_CLASS(GTK_BIN(widget)->child)->expose_event)(GTK_BIN(widget)->child, event);

This works the same as this:

Code:

// Calling the expose event of a "container" class
(*GTK_WIDGET_CLASS(GTK_BIN_GET_CLASS(widget->parent))->expose_event)(widget, event);

Everything works, but there is a small difference:
On Linux, when the button is pressed down (when you hold the mouse button), the label moves to the left and bottom by 1px.
On Windows it stays still.
How can I make it consistent?

My idea was to turn off (remove) the theme (style). I think it would make the Linux version look like Windows version (with poor button syle), and the label would stay still in both systems.

Just found a solution.

Code:

GtkWidget *window, *button1, *button2;
//...
GtkStyle *style = gtk_widget_get_default_style();
//...
gtk_widget_set_style(window, style);
gtk_widget_set_style(button1, style);
gtk_widget_set_style(button2, style);

But you need to call "gtk_widget_set_style" for each widget.
Is there a way to do it once for all widgets? Something like:

Code:

gtk_widget_set_style_all(window, style);
