Did you try the latest version? Did you install IE with Winetools? I still can't get past my "no text visible" error that I linked to with a screenshot earlier.
I use Wine CVS from yesterday, steam updates itself automatically. I installed MSIE manually into a fresh wine installation.
I can see all the text in steam(at least I don't miss anything). I can send you my config files, etc if you need it.
My DLLoverrides:
General:
"advapi32" = "builtin" "shdocvw" = "native, builtin"
"msvcrt" = "native, builtin" "advapi" = "builtin" "urlmon" = "native, builtin" "advpack" = "native, builtin" "shlwapi" = "native, builtin" ;shlwapi.dll.GetLongPathNameWrapA "wininet" = "native, builtin"
Steam Appdefault: "mshtml" = "native, builtin" ;could crash steam "crypt32" = "native, builtin" "msvcrt" = "native, builtin" "shlwapi" = "native, builtin" "shdocvw" = "native, builtin" "shfolder" = "native, builtin" "shell" = "builtin, native" "wininet" = "native, builtin" "urlmon" = "native, builtin" "wininet" = "native, builtin"
I have to run Steam in a Desktop window, otherwise I can't type anything.
