Pidgin 2.7.0 breaks Guifications

I can't say I've had this issue...using Pidgin 2.7.1 and Guifications 
2.14 it's all working great on Win7 Ult x64. The only thing I've ever 
had to do was go into the plugin options and select a theme as the theme 
selection seems to get unchecked on occasion (usually during a Pidgin 
upgrade) for whatever reason.
