Hi forum I edit my ~/.wine/user.reg to include the followings : Code: [Control Panel\\Colors] 1282041636 "ActiveBorder"="154 154 154" "ActiveTitle"="0 0 0" "AppWorkSpace"="154 154 154" "Background"="246 246 246" "ButtonAlternativeFace"="200 0 0" "ButtonDkShadow"="154 154 154" "ButtonFace"="246 246 246" "ButtonHilight"="238 238 238" "ButtonLight"="246 246 246" "ButtonShadow"="238 238 238" "ButtonText"="0 0 0" "GradientActiveTitle"="213 166 55" "GradientInactiveTitle"="213 166 55" "GrayText"="128 128 128" "Hilight"="100 132 164" "HilightText"="255 255 255" "InactiveBorder"="246 246 246" "InactiveTitle"="193 197 171" "InactiveTitleText"="255 255 255" "InfoText"="0 0 0" "InfoWindow"="246 246 246" "Menu"="246 246 246" "MenuBar"="0 0 0" "MenuHilight"="100 132 164" "MenuText"="0 0 0" "Scrollbar"="246 246 246" "TitleText"="255 255 255" "Window"="255 255 255" "WindowFrame"="154 154 154" "WindowText"="0 0 0" After I launch a Windoze app, there's no change to the colors, AND these settings mysteriously disappear from the user.reg file. Just the following line remains. Code: [Control Panel\\Colors] 1282041636 What is nuking my settings ? Any clues or tips for how to fix ? TIA's
