Tweaking Wine
Wednesday, 27. December 2006, 10:08:03
I spend some time too tweak Wine a little bit more for a better look of Windows apps on my Ubuntu Linux. I created a color theme and a registry file for import (wine regedit ubuntu_colors.reg) into the wine registry editor.I know Wine can load Windows styles and there are nice ones like Clearlooks and Human, but my experiences are that these themes let Wine runing slow.

Nice work! I've been running versions of Windows portable apps (http://portableapps.com) from my iPod, and wanted to keep using them when I came back to Linux. That means I can keep settings and configs the same no matter which platform I'm on, like at work where it's windows only, and we can't install anything. Wine works, and I love it, but it is truly ugly. I have seen the slowness you referred to while running Windows themes. Your reg import is a very good compromise.
Thanks For Sharing This.

Love the Ubuntu colours reg file. So much better than the windows 95 style boringness. Thanks a lot

I think this one blends better into the gutsy-human theme, but i know it's subjective
