Give Wine a Human Theme on Ubuntu
by Jim on Sep.12, 2008, under Operating Systems, linux
Wine may be a very handy application on Linux, but it does make your Windows programs look really (really, really, really!) bad. The default Wine theme is somewhat like Windows 95 and is a boring beige, which is a major eyesore next to the orange of Ubuntu’s Human theme.
Whilst you may simply change some of the colours Wine uses, the programs still look odd alongside native applications. Yet Wine has supported msthemes for a long time; although, they do put a slight damper on performance. You won’t really notice this if you have a nice dual core processor, but I can see a Eee struggling with a theme.
As you can see Photoshop CS2 looks much better:You can download the theme from here. Just unpack the archive somewhere and open winecfg (Applications -> Wine -> Configure Wine; or just type winecfg in the terminal.) Choose the Desktop Integration tab and choose Install Theme. Navigate to the themes fodler and choose the .msstyles file. Now you can simply choose which theme you want 
To remove it just switch the theme back.

I’ve had some experience with Chrome. It doesn’t seem to like Youtube, which is strange since Google owns Youtube!
