WineGUI is a graphical frontend for the Wine software compatibility layer which allows Linux users to install Windows-based software as well as video games for Windows.[2]
WineGUI can be used under Linux operating systems; deb, rpm and tar prebuilt packages are provided.[1]
Internals
WineGUI is fully developed using the C++ programming language and Gtkmm (GTK C++ wrapper) GUI toolkit.
In some cases WineGUI relies on Winetricks to configure the Wine bottles. The latest Winetricks release will be retrieved automatically.
Each "Windows Machine" in WineGUI has its own Wine bottle (thus a different WINEPREFIX).
WineGUI is very responsive, due to the fact that bottle (re)configurations are done in a multi-threaded manner. Also the GTK GUI natively integrates into most common Linux distributions, matching the user's theme preferences.
Currently, WineGUI is relying on the Wine version that is installed on the host machine. However, there are plans to support other Wine versions as well as other various Wine forks.[3]
