Hi,
Reading up on the wineconf WWN issue, I noticed that it mentions usability and winecfg. Therefore, I decided to dig up my RFC relating to some ideas I had about winecfg that I sent to the list.
- We may want to provide a set of colour themes (e.g. Windows 95,
Windows 2000, Ubuntu Human, ClearLooks, KDE Oxygen) to provide a better experience for the user by default - i.e. not just have the "No Theme" option initially.
+1. You could even add the Apple 'metal' look to the theme list.
- We may want to be able to load a theme using the command line.
This would allow - for example - distributions to setup Wine with a theme that matches their desktop, providing a more integrated experience to the user.
+1.
- We may want to have a "Use the system's appearance" checkbox to
enable Gnome/KDE/other integration, so that the colours and/or appearance is picked up from (and updated with) the native Linux environment. This would go above the theme drop-down.
+1. Don't forget MacIntosh and other UNIX flavors as well. Wine is not just for Linux, you know. :)
