Answer 1

Wine does support some basic theming of window styles - See Configuring Wine.

Detailed explanation of what you need to do is...

1. Search for the folder .wine (usually found at /home/(user name)/.wine;
2. add a folder called "Themes", 3 visit http://search.deviantart.com/?sectio...3A5&q=msstyles
3. download a theme,
4. add the .msstyles file (into a folder of its own) under the (newly created) "Themes" folder,
5. type winecfg in a terminal - Or find it under WINE Menuitem.
6. Under Desk Top Integration, select "Install Theme" then select the .msstyles file.

The actual file your looking for to add a theme is .msstyles.
