Download Windows 10 Theme For Wine
Christal Rasband
Joey-Elijah, the editor of OMG! UBUNTU! made a post about a script that integrates wine into the desktop but I ran the script and it had no effect. I assumed that the script doesn't run on Precise. Am I wrong? Is there a way to make wine look... prettier?
The numerous icon theme replacements out there for Windows can work, but not very well, due to differences between Wine's and Windows' shell*.dlls. I'm sorry I cannot provide you with the solution you wanted.
So, I'm trying to use the Cedar Logic Simulator on linux with WINE. ( ) I am on Pop!_OS 20.04 LTS x86_64. However, with the standard settings of wine it looks really ugly and is impossible to use. Attaching a picture for reference.
a) Thought must be a fault with GTK theme because had a similar issue with native Code::Blocks before (which I did not bother searching and swapped IDES). Looking online I found that if I change the GTK theme it might work. So I installed gnome-tweak-tools, however there was no option to change the GTK theme there. Look at this
Wine can be installed by enabling the multilib repository and installing the wine (development), wine-stableAUR (stable) or wine-staging (testing) package. Wine Staging is a patched version of Wine, which contains bug fixes and features that have not been integrated into the stable or development branch yet.
Consider installing wine-gecko and wine-mono for applications that depend on Internet Explorer and .NET, respectively. These packages are not strictly required as Wine will download the relevant files as needed. However, having the files downloaded in advance allows you to work off-line and makes it so Wine does not download the files for each Wine prefix needing them.
By default, Wine stores its configuration files and installed Windows programs in /.wine. This directory is commonly called a "Wine prefix" or "Wine bottle". It is created/updated automatically whenever you run a Windows program or one of Wine's bundled programs such as winecfg. The prefix directory also contains a tree which your Windows programs will see as C: (the C-drive).
For example, if you run one program with env WINEPREFIX=/.win-a wine program-a.exe, and another with env WINEPREFIX=/.win-b wine program-b.exe, the two programs will each have a separate C-drive and separate registries.
Wine will start a 64-bit environment by default. You can change this behavior using the WINEARCH environment variable. Rename your /.wine directory and create a new Wine environment by running $ WINEARCH=win32 winecfg. This will get you a 32-bit Wine environment. Not setting WINEARCH will get you a 64-bit one.
In order to see the architecture of an existing prefix you can check its registry file. The command below reads the system registry of the /.wine prefix and returns #arch=win32 or #arch=win64 depending on the architecture type:
If winecfg still fails to detect the audio driver (Selected driver: (none)), configure it via the registry. For example, in a case where the microphone was not working in a 32-bit Windows application on a 64-bit stock install of wine-1.9.7, this provided full access to the sound hardware (sound playback and mic): open regedit, look for the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Wine > Drivers, and add a string called Audio and give it the value alsa. Also, it may help to recreate the prefix.
By default, installation of Wine does not create desktop menus/icons for the software which comes with Wine (e.g. for winecfg, winebrowser, etc). This can be achieved by installing wine-installerAUR or wine-installer-gitAUR meta-package (the latter has no additional dependencies), otherwise these instructions will add entries for these applications.
If these settings produce a ugly/non-existent icon, it means that there are no icons for these launchers in the icon set that you have enabled. You should replace the icon settings with the explicit location of the icon that you want. Clicking the icon in the launcher's properties menu will have the same effect. A great icon set that supports these shortcuts is gnome-colors-icon-themeAUR.
In order to use your installed printers (both local and network) with wine applications in win32 prefixes (e.g. MS Word), install the lib32-libcups package, reboot wine (wineboot) and restart your wine application.
Note that CSMT may actually hurt performance for some applications - if this is the case, disable it by runing wine regedit and set the DWORD value for HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software > Wine > Direct3D > csmt to 0x00 (disabled).
With the open-source gallium-based drivers (mostly AMD and Intel cards) there is a Gallium Direct3D state tracker that aims to provide nearly-native performance for DirectX 9. In most cases it has less visual glitches than the upstream wine and doubles the performances. It consumes much less CPU time than CSMT.
Wine's file associations are set in /.local/share/applications/ as wine-extension-extension.desktop files. Delete the files corresponding to the extensions you want to unregister. Or, to remove all wine extensions:
The wine package installs a binfmt file which will allows you to run Windows programs directly, e.g. ./myprogram.exe will launch as if you had typed wine ./myprogram.exe. Service starts by default on boot, if you have not rebooted after installing Wine you can start systemd-binfmt.service to use it right away.
Also installing lib32-libxinerama might fix dual-head issues with wine (for example, unclickable buttons and menus of application in the right most or bottom most monitor, not redrawable interface of application in that zone, dragging mouse cursor state stucked after leaving application area).
Some applications will check for the disc to be in drive. They may check for data only, in which case it might be enough to configure the corresponding path as being a CD-ROM drive in winecfg.However, other applications will look for a name and/or a serial number, in which case the image has to be mounted with these special properties.
Wine features an embedded FPS monitor which works for all graphical applications if the environment variable WINEDEBUG=fps is set. This will output the framerate to stdout. You can display the FPS on top of the window thanks to osd_cat from the xosd package. See winefps.sh for a helper script.
In order to not be asked for a password each time Wine is run as another user the following entry can be added to the sudoers file: mainuserALL=(wineuser) NOPASSWD: ALL. See Sudo#Configuration for more information.
It is recommended to run winecfg as the Wine user and remove all bindings for directories outside the home directory of the Wine user in the "Desktop Integration" section of the configuration window so no program run with Wine has read access to any file outside the special user's home directory.
Each Wine prefix has a lot of persistent state, between the installed programs and the registry. The first step to troubleshooting issues with program installation should be to either create an isolated prefix, or clear the default prefix via rm -rf /.wine. The latter will delete any of the programs and settings you have added to the default prefix.
This could be caused by the window manager not switching focus. In the Graphics tab of winecfg, disable the 'Allow the window manager...' options, or set windowed mode with 'Emulate a virtual desktop'.
if I select the "Windows 10" theme (instead of "Windows"), the background color of selected items is white. This happens in the session manager, database list, table list, column definition table, data table and other places. As white is also the general background color it is really hard to tell which item is selected. Is there some way to change this?
I really hope this can be fixed. Other themes have this problem as well (background color = selected item color). From the themes I've tried only the legacy Windows theme works but it looks very outdated.
Try removing your .wine folder in your home directory. Then open a terminal and type winecfg
Yes, there were some issues with 7.4. Wine 7.5 was released this week and is currently in Unstable branch.
I would say you have to delete the /.wine folder and reinstall your applications, but anyway, it would be better to have a wine prefix for each application. bottles is still in development, but is very promising for normal applications.
Inside the folder is another folder, called UbuntuLight. This is where the theme file is. To install it, we need to use the Wine Configuration program, which can be found in the Applications menu, under Wine.
Wine on Haiku currently has significant performance problem caused by poll() in wine_server. It spends significant time in kernel. wine_server seems designed to use epoll that is not available on Haiku.
I spend last days to creating Haiku native windowing intergation driver for Wine winehaiku.drv without using X11 or Xlib in any way. It is already quite usable and outperforms winex11.drv + Xlibe in many aspects.
This is really nice.
Soon we will have a lot of windows applications that will work better than other platforms, especially due to the lightness of HAIKU which uses the minimum of available resources, giving all the rest of the resources to the applications, as it should be.
That looks quite good and the menus seem to be in the correct positions, unlike Wine on native Wayland without a virtual desktop. In that sense, it is already farther along than that other effort. Perhaps as a future task, look into creating a Haiku-like Windows theme?
However, in the current Wine versions full theming is too slow to be usable.(You can watch it draw individual lines in slow motion.) If the Wine developersfix this in time for Ubuntu 8.04, a matching Wine theme will be used by default.
