Skinning Wine apps?

Is there a way to make Win32 applications runing under Wine skinned? Do programs like WindowBlinds work?

you could try installing windowblinds to see
if it does anything.

Personally, I doubt a system level program like WindowsBlinds would work in Wine.

I recently read about it in a wine weekly newsletter. There's a dll Windows XP uses for theming that has not yet been implemented and would require some rather large changes to implement.
I have no idea how older versions of windowsblinds and such worked with win 98, but I doubt it'll work.
You can however set the "managed" configuration option for wine, which should replace the windows like window borders with your default window manager's.
Edit: Here we go. That's the article I meant. The dll is called UXTheme.DLL.
