I would be glad to be of any assistance I can be in this matter. I think wine is a great project, and I have been looking for the right project to immerse my self in. I think I've just found it :-)

I hope you know what you will begin with. (For the ones that don't know uxtheme.dll is the dll that takes care of all theming on WinXP and it is the dll that dlls like comctl32 and all others use for theming)
Some time ago I checked out uxtheme.dll a bit and it seems that it needs changes all over Wine. As I understand it WinXP ships with two sets of comctl32.dll and friends. One is the "old" version and one is a new uxtheme aware version. The uxtheme aware version contains lots of changes and uses uxtheme for theming. To use uxtheme you need to add uxtheme support to the dlls that need it which looks like a huge job.
It does.
Perhaps this is something post Wine-1.0?
Why? This seems liks something that can be done incrementally. Kevin is interested in doing it. Is there any reason to wait? Kevin should be aware of what he's getting himself into, of course, but otherwise it's his call. That's what free software development is all about.
