It's good to learn from others' mistakes. :-)

Okay, so why don't we start by creating a Default.theme (using the default
wine Window-ish colors) and Human.theme that is in the same format as the
reg files, and have wineconf read that? If memory serves correctly, the
settings are saved to ~/.wine/user.reg.

A separate package with the themes ("wine-themes"?) seems prudent as it
would modularize the implementation better, IMHO. Other desktops can submit
themes to the theming package, or create their own packages based on
wine-themes (e.g., "wine-themes-ubuntu-studio", "wine-themes-iycc", etc.).

Endolith, can you use that script of yours to scrape the gnome settings from
gconf, gtkrc, and perhaps other obvious places and save a .theme file, at
least as a "wag and a poke" themer?

BTW, seems like it would be pretty simple to create a Wine Color Chooser
similar to Gnome Color Chooser that creates the Wine theme file. Maybe we
could even add a checkbox to Gnome Color Chooser to make the wine theme. But
writing a new program we should probably leave to another day. :-)

Happy Trails,
