Comment 27 for bug 111061

 Here's a pretty good description of the current state of things:
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes. From that article:
<quote>Everything you want to change is being changed in so called "styles".
Within these styles you have two kinds of properties. On the one hand there
is a limited set of predefined style-properties of the GTK+ theming system,
which define things like the width of the scrollbar. On the other hand there
are the theming possibilities the engines define. These engine styles are,
where most of the theming options are possible. The interesting part about
the GTK theming system is that different styles are merged to create the
final one. So what you usually will do is to define a base style with all
common options in it, and then change colors for a specific widget. </quote>

It would be possible to code around each theme engine, at least if we have a
list of them, but that would require more patience than I have. Perhaps the
Right Way to Do It (tm) would be to standardize the color settings for GTK.

Another option would be to scrape a couple or three of the most common
engines and grab the rest from gconf.

This leads me back to the conclusion I came to a while back: the solution
should be done as a separate project and not as part of the WINE package. If
done in a standardized way, the project could be useful in contexts other
than WINE.
