Gedit Plugins 'grayed out' when clicked to activate (Windows 10)

Question

I have installed Gedit 2.30.1 (32 bit) on Windows 10.

Problem: When I add any external plugin to gedit, I can see the plugin listed in the preferences option, but it gets grayed out when clicked.

Example: The regex search plugin.

Method of installation: Unzip the plugin, move the regexsearch.gedit-plugin file and regexsearch directory to G:\gedit\lib\gedit-2\plugins.

Launch gedit-> edit menu-> preferences -> Plugins -> Click on regex search

Observation: Plugin gets grayed out. Fails to load.

Message printed on cmd.exe: (When launched from cmd.exe)

G:\gedit\bin>gedit.exe

G:\gedit\bin>G:\gedit\lib\gedit-2\plugins\commander\entry.py:607: GtkWarning: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap",

What could be the problem?
