Summary: Usable Wine interface Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: remco47@yahoo.com
What about making a Wine GUI to behave more like emulators like VirtualBox. It's extremely hard right now to get Wine in desktop mode. It would be nice if you could start Wine as an application, which opens up a window like this:
http://xs224.xs.to/xs224/08081/mockup918.png (ignore the virtualbox-stuff)
And if you start one of those prefixes, it by default opens a Wine Desktop with a simple Taskbar & Start-menu. Somewhere in the Start-menu could be the option to switch to desktop integration mode. There could also be an option to run the Wine Desktop full-screen. Like this:
http://xs224.xs.to/xs224/08081/winedesktop771.png (forgive my GIMP skills)
I believe this would be very good for usability. Desktop mode is more stable than seamless mode, yet it's hidden in winecfg. This kind of UI also exposes the prefix-functionality in a transparent way. Wouldn't that be a nice 1.0 polishing idea?

Wine actually aims to better integrate with X11 desktop, not be a sandbox of some kind.
It's extremely hard right now to get Wine in desktop mode.
How hard is it to run winecfg, switch to Graphics tab, and turn off the "Allow the window manager to control the windows"?

--- Comment #2 from Dan Kegel dank@kegel.com 2008-05-23 10:04:38 --- I agree, having an option to turn on a start menu and task bar in windowed mode might appeal to some people.
And for maximal dogfood testing, I would like to switch my account from Gnome to Wine Explorer (+ maybe metacity) for the primary desktop.
None of these should be the default, of course.

--- Comment #8 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
after some years with Mono, Vincent went back to the roots and resumed the work on this part with the "uglify virtual desktops forever" patch series
http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/100976 http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/100977 http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/100978 http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/100979 http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/100980 http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/100981
With those features incorporated Wine is almost finished (tm) :-)
