I'm currently working on implementing support for .msstyles themes (of which are used by XP) primarily because the format follows the API pretty closely and will be easier to test my implementation against an XP box. One nice thing about .msstyles themes is they are basically just a resource-on

This is very kickass dude. I think this is the right method of supporting themes for WINE. KDE can already do GTK themes with a little bit of tweaking so it will support both Linux Desktops and GTK themes are now supported under Windows with GTK-Win32 so maybe we can even use this in ReactOS when i

The different versions of comctl32 are part of Microsoft's "assembly" system which is primarilly an attempt to battle "DLL hell" as well as part of their .NET strategy, which (correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think afflicts this part of WINE very much. Altho one thing to consider in this area i

I'm aware of the scope of the project. The general design of uxtheme lends itself well to being done incrementally, eg. controls could be modified as support for the particular control is implemented, etc. Also part of the API are a few functions (IsThemeActive & IsAppThemed) which will allow th

Ofcourse I want uxtheme.dll implemented since it is a very cool new dll but I think a problem will be that it needs changes in various parts of Wine. Mainly in the user and common control area. Microsoft releases two sets of comctl32 dlls. One of them is meant for backwards compatibility. Becaus
