By default, applications installed by Wine inherit Win9x ugly dark grey theme. Latest wine release support .MSStyle for theming.

Create the themes directory:


mkdir ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/resources/themes

Run *winecfg* and select the Appearance tab. Install a .msstyle from your local windows install (C:\Windows\Resources\themes\) or download any theme from the net. Choose your theme, and apply it.
