Hi! I have a question and some reminds about Wine.
1.) When it will be all applications and games supported on 100% ?
*NEVER*. Period.
There are way too many apps out there with very weird lowlevel hacks that already failed to run properly on the second-less-than-newest Windows version out there, not to mention a current Windows version. XP app compatibility is quite bad, too (especially with XP SP2!!).
And Windows Vista (if this incredibly vaporwary beast finally makes it to the market!) is said to have a ridiculously low appcompat rating of less than 60% currently. Even Wine probably beats that... Not to mention that Vista will need to have 60% of its codebase rewritten, too.
Wine appcompat rating will almost certainly never be higher than 90%, and even that is a very optimistic number.
2.) Why wine doesn't accept my own config at all?
Dunno. You don't modify ~/.wine/config but registry keys instead, right?
3.) Add more options to Winecfg. It will be fine and welcomed.
That should answer my question about 2.), but yeah, people will add more.
4.) I have small fonts in some apps (size about 4 and it has curious look)
Recent fontforge issues perhaps? (see mailing list discussions)
5.) Wine doesn't link new installed apps to my desktop and "start menu"
Indeed, that's often less than perfect. You might want to try a full Wine reinstall with thus a complete new Wine registration, that might help.
