Hello,

At the weekend I have wrote an alternative uxtheme.dll implementation
and I want
to share it with you.

The idea was very simple. Most of the Windows applications use
uxtheme.dll to
draw their controls calling the functions like DrawThemeBackground. I
noticed,
GTK+ has a very similar interface (compare: gtk_render_background) and
it would
be nice to have a wrapper arround it.

So I have got UxThemeGTK. There is still a lot of work, but you can test
it now:
https://github.com/akulinchev/uxthemegtk (see the screenshots at the
bottom of
the page). Pull requests are certainly welcomed!

Regards,

Ivan

P.S. Shall I send a copy to wine-devel?
