Internals
editWineGUI is fully developed using the C++ programming language and Gtkmm (GTK C++ wrapper) GUI-toolkit.
In some cases WineGUI rely on Winetricks to configure the Wine bottles. The latest Winetricks release will be retrieved automatically.
Each "Windows Machine" in WineGUI has it's own Wine bottle (thus a different WINEPREFIX).
WineGUI is very responsive, due 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[2].
