About .NET: this appears to be an issue with Mono. NSMBe5, a level editor for New Super Mario Bros. which uses .NET, had very bad issues with this theme which were fixed after installing native .NET 4.8 with winetricks. I unfortunately never bothered taking a screenshot of the issues so you'll just have to take my word for it that it was really bad (half of the elements weren't being affected by the theme at all), but the after speaks for itself, it's all good now:

Though indeed, a proper msstyles would be very nice. Plus from what I can tell, the format allows you to do a lot that could potentially allow getting much closer to the original Breeze Dark than this simple color swap.

Looks cool!

Some parts of the menu bar are still white and perhaps harder to read others, but definitely nicer! Thanks!

This doesn't seem to do anything for me, anybody know if a .msstyle or .theme exists for this?

@Megalomaniak You have to set the desktop integration theme to "(No theme)" for the registry values to work (As mentioned in the first comment)

Did that not work?

@parkerlreed That's what I had it on. Though would prefer if it added a new theme to the drop down selection. Ended up finding a msstyle for windows that was trying to mimic photoshop CC dark theme, it'll do. Still doesn't add to the list tho, but at least the colors took effect.

save file wine-breeze-dark.reg, open regedit, go to registry/import reg file
enjoy

Is there a way to install this theme into the wine version metatrader 5 app?

You should be able to automate turning off the Light theme by setting "ThemeActive"="0" under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ThemeManager] (tested on Wine 8.0), saves an additional setup step

It didn't work for me either. The fix was to run wine regedit wine-reset-theme.reg first (i.e. run the uninstall command then the install). It looks glorious! Thank you to the creators!

A little modified colour settings for Winbox, more easy on the eyes:

Thank you so much for making this wine theme! I use it on all my prefixes and I love how it matches the rest of my DE.

Can you think of a simple bash script that may turn this on/off?

Can you think of a simple bash script that may turn this on/off?

I did this and it's fairly simple. Just put the .reg files in a location where they won't be moved and made a script that just has "wine regedit [path_to_.reg]

I made scripts called "winedark" and "winelight" in my /usr/local/sbin folder that execute wine regedit and link to the reg file to apply and remove this theme respectively, so I can easily change the theme when I make new wineprefixes or need to disable it temporarily. You just need to make sure your shell session has the right wineprefix selected before using a script like that.

You can also add a registry setting to the enable and disable scripts using something someone mentioned above to automate disabling and re enabling the new light theme.
