Some games run differently depending on the windows versions set as described here: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44675#c15
I've been gaming on linux for about 6 years now and this is the first time hearing about this. I've played countless of games and sometimes I had to install components like dotnet and what not but even that was pretty rare. (Umu wasn't a thing for most of the those 6 years)
That being said there's stuff like umu-fixes which apply changes like these automatically. I know umu is for proton and when a game required a specific fix (e.g. version change or installing a dependency) wine users would have to run it themselves anyways (I don't think there's something like umu-protonfixes (https://github.com/Open-Wine-Components/umu-protonfixes) that auto apply fixes for games for plain wine so I don't think I'm wrong on this.
A theme isn't exactly a fix so both users of wine & proton would have to run that manually per prefix. Which I believe is enough to justify this.
Thanks for more background on your gaming experience. Does this mean you typically use Steam app to manage and launch games? My experience is oriented around dev/testing vs player with plain vanilla wine always the primary target platform. I use GE-Proton without Steam for testing Steam-like behavior when necessary but run via command line like vanilla wine. Therefore if users are dependent upon launchers for managing themes then indeed it may be less convenient for them to have to set for every game if a global theme setting is not offered by their tools. In that case a shared path such as ~/.cache may provide a valid solution. Unclear if global theme override would conflict with any game prefix specific settings such as if similar support was added for global version override that conflicts with game specific version and how that should be resolved. I'm not aware of Proton setting any specific themes per game prefix so maybe other's have more insight into whether that might be an issue. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
