WineSkin v0.01

[Joel Holdsworth]

Hi All,

I just wanted to highlight my new project - WineSkin

http://www.airwebreathe.org.uk/wineskin/

WineSkin is an attempt to create a set of scripts that auto-generate the
necessary themes, visual styles and registry keys to visually integrate
wine with the host desktop environment. At the moment I only support
integrating 5 icons with the host, when the DE is Gnome. I'm hoping that
the project will grow and eventually I'll be able to integrate with KDE
and MacOS. For now I'm just focussing on trying to get any kind of good
integration going.

If anyone has any thoughts or comments, let me know; I'd love to hear
them.

All the best
Joel

Might want to rethink the name:

How about the name WineLooks instead of wineskin? That would be a
reference to Clearlooks in Gnome.

Looks really nice btw :-)

Joel:

WineSkin is already taken for a method to build .app files on MacOSX.

Also, WineBottler is Mike Kronenberg's method of doing the same thing. 

Hmmm.  I don't know of a name this could be changed to, but if you drop 
on the User list post a message about this and ask for an appropriate 
new name...
