Can anybody tell, what naming > convention Windows uses for USB devices ("\\.\????")? [skip] It looks like there are multiple projects going on along the same lines here. Ivan Leo and me working on this too (making safedisc protected games work on wine). So far we have functional DeviceIoCotrol on a device. But no support for read or write nor synchronization of any kind. Right now it blocks until processing is complete. I would suggest to cooperate in this development effort. There are number of issues to resolve, that a not so trivial. Also there are limits to how far wine can go in emulating native kernel. Some things are gust impossible to implement in the same manner. Please join #winehackers channel on freenode.net to discuss the the subject. Vitaliy.

It's also in OpenLDAP and the Netscape/Mozilla SDK, both widespread on platforms other than Linux. I guess you need a configure check for this. -Hans

Is there any possibility to use wines uxtheme.dll with Windows XP or is it too different? From the past discussions I think that they are too different. Stefan

I would think that a lot of Windows internal-ish things would depend on stuff that Wine uxtheme does not have or only partially - e.g. there's a Windows service to somehow theme window NC areas, and to my knowledge it isn't really known how it interacts/uses uxtheme. I think using Wine uxtheme on native WinXP may not be desireable. -f.r.

Btw, I have a really dumb question: How do I use a .msstyle theme? I know that this would better asked on wine-users, but now theming was mentioned I ask here. I'd like to see a QT theme bridge too, but a gtk bridge would for the start as there's a qt->gtk theme translator. Stefan
