Hi! I've suddenly had to depend on wine because of my phone's sync software. It's working great but the only problem I have is with the look. How can I change the fonts (along with size) and perhaps the colour of the windows (not compulsory though). I've spend a lot of time searching throught the forum with little success.
I've tried config file and also registry settings but I've not gotten much. Any links to where I can find help will just be ok for me. Thanks

You have 3 options....win3.1 win95 win98 look and feel.
Its all in the config file.
Install the fonts from a Windows installation and make them accessible by wine. You need at least to have the "tahoma" font (it's probably not distributed with wine for copyright reasons, but you REALLY want it if you can get it).
I'd rather see apps under wine take on the Qt/KDE, gtk/Gnome, or foo look and feel - in other words, the look and feel of the environment you're running wine under.
I agree. That would be a good idea. I think it's doable to use e.g. GTK2 as a winxp theme emulation. But the wine guys should probably have other priorities, like making sure things WORK before they care about how they LOOK.

I got another work around. In the $HOME/.wine directory, I did this:
ln -s /usr/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/*ttf .
Simply put, I just created a symollic link to the ttf fonts in that directory (luxi*). Works pretty well
