- Ubuntu Human theme on Deviant Art
[SIZE="3"]Notes[/SIZE]
I had read quite a bit about Wine’s theming capabilities being limited, slow, and rather useless, but thought I would give it a go anyways. I was pleasantly surprised to find that after following these instructions Wine ran just as fast and looked a lot better.
Here is a summary of the steps I followed:
- Of course, make sure Wine is installed
- Download the Ubuntu Human theme from Wine from Deviant Art
- Navigate to /home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/Themes/
- You probably have to create Resources and Themes
- Install the *Human* theme folder (that you downloaded from Deviant Art) inside the */Resources/Themes/* folder
- The final path to the theme’s .msstyles file needs to be /home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/windows/Resources/Themes/Human/Human.msstyles
- Run Wine Config
- Choose the Human theme in the Desktop Integration tab
- Click Apply and Ok, then it will re-render all Wine apps in the new theme
Enjoy!
