--- Comment #27 from Bamm Gabriana  ---
Sorry for reviving this.

The original post said, "Would even dynamic color scheme be an option?" and yet
this was closed with the reason "Wine can not and will not use GTK/QT tool kits
for it's GUI". I find this non-sequitur. One does not need to have GTK/QT tool
kits in Wine just to import its colors.

In fact, I once made an "external tool to get theme data from GTK/QT and import
into Wine", and I implemented it using only a POSIX shell script, making calls
to gsettings and then writing them as a .reg file importable by Wine Regedit.

The issue is not about writing a tool, it's about making it work automagically.

Let's say the user switches from a light to a dark desktop theme. Next time he
opens a Wine application it would be blindingly bright. In my case, I would
need to run my tool after I change the theme and before I run a program in
Wine.

The solution would be to find a way to run such a tool everytime wineboot runs,
and this is where the cooperation of Wine developers is needed. It cannot be
purely external since it needs a hook into wine's startup.

I don't want this to be purely internal also, because those who do not want
this feature shouldn't be forced to have it. (It might increase startup time by
a small fraction of a second)

I just want to ask the Wine developers to revisit this posibility of dynamic
color theming by allowing such an external tool to run at startup, perhaps by
having something like an autoexec file that a user can edit or that can be set
by an external package.

I'm thinking creating a directory like /etc/wine/autoexec.d/ and have packages
drop scripts there that wineboot can run. Also, it should be opt-in, so that
users can decide if they want this feature, otherwise, wineboot just ignores
it.

Is it possible to create such a hook?
