Hi All,
I just wanted to highlight my new project - WineSkin
http://www.airwebreathe.org.uk/wineskin/
WineSkin is an attempt to create a set of scripts that auto-generate the necessary themes, visual styles and registry keys to visually integrate wine with the host desktop environment. At the moment I only support integrating 5 icons with the host, when the DE is Gnome. I'm hoping that the project will grow and eventually I'll be able to integrate with KDE and MacOS. For now I'm just focussing on trying to get any kind of good integration going.
If anyone has any thoughts or comments, let me know; I'd love to hear them.
All the best Joel

How about the name WineLooks instead of wineskin? That would be a reference to Clearlooks in Gnome.
Looks really nice btw :-)

WineSkin is already taken for a method to build .app files on MacOSX.

Also, WineBottler is Mike Kronenberg's method of doing the same thing.
Hmmm. I don't know of a name this could be changed to, but if you drop on the User list post a message about this and ask for an appropriate new name...
