Set wine theme from cli

bgstack15

Comments

I spent time configuring a new wine prefix with the boring, office-gray theme. I do that every time, because the default (that started within the past year or so) is to have the theme "Light" which looks white and puffy and annoying.

Before:

Run the following registry file with this command.

wine regedit use-theme-none.reg
