Hi,

Wine has had support for loading colour-based .theme files correctly for
a while now (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WineHumanTheme for a
human.theme file).

Winecfg will load a theme's colour profile into the registry, and allow
you to change that in the appearance section (item, color, size and font
elements), as well as loading any msstyle data. The msstyle data takes
precedence (if you are not in 'classic' mode in Windows; there is not
currently an equivalent feature in Wine/winecfg). At the moment, the
push buttons, radio buttons and check boxes (and possibly some other
controls in user32.dll) are not properly themed, so will use the themes
colour profile.

I also have some ideas (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-
devel/2008-October/069583.html) on improving winecfg, some of which I
have sent patches for. Owen Rudge (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-
devel/2008-October/069593.html) also has more ideas on this as well.

With Windows Vista, Microsoft have changed the msstyle theme data
format. As such, it should be possible to make the theme engine
(uxtheme.dll) in Wine interact with the Gtk, Qt and Cocoa/Carbon theme
APIs to render elements correctly.

Any application that modifies the msstyle theme will need to inform the
wineserver to send out a WM_THEMECHANGED notification to all top-level
windows so that they can update properly; likewise any colour profile
changes, the application will need to inform the wineserver that it
needs to send out a WM_SYSCOLORCHANGED notification.
