Hi Reece, I just tested Cepstral SwiftTalker with latest git (see bug: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12534) and I can't see the options from the `control` program. You might want to get this and other applets displaying/working before creating default Wine-specific ones (e.g. like

I'll look into that, then. I know that the shell namespace control panel does check the registry for entries (could you try using a program like the ReactOS Explorer to browse the control panel and see if it shows up there?), but I'm not sure if the standalone control.exe does. Ideally, the

Wine's builtin control does just launch the shell's version of the control panel, unless it's given an argument like DESKTOP, DATE/TIME, etc. See programs/control.c. Indeed, I'm aware of that. Effectively, there are two versions of the control panel in the shell of course, the namespace

You might try to make some of those that have an analogue work in Wine, especially the Legacy Control Panel Commands desktop and color. That's something I can look into, indeed. Having had a brief look into it, currently the control panel attempts to launch the appropriate .cpl file that

Isn't it more logical (and closer to native) to have a control panel applet for each category/tab already in winecfg instead of having one winecfg applet? Otherwise you're just moving winecfg to another place. Well, my plan, as mentioned before in another thread, is to split up winecfg a

As we said before, implementing a control panel applet doesn't mean you have to do anything to the current winecfg code. True, but would it really benefit to add an icon for each winecfg tab (which I think is what you are suggesting, yes?) to the control panel, compared to having one

First, that's not what I was suggesting. I was disagreeing with adding a winecfg cpl applet. Second, I'm likening winecfg to a very poorly-designed control panel. There are several categories that can go into their own cpl applet, like 'Sound' and 'Graphics' (or whatever you want to call

I still don't see the need for a winecfg cpl applet at this point. You say that the Wine Configuration icon is ok for the time being. Take your time and design it correctly the first time, so you or others don't have to go back and fix it later. Measure twice, cut once, as they say. I
