This is very kickass dude. I think this is the right method of supporting themes for WINE. KDE can already do GTK themes with a little bit of tweaking so it will support both Linux Desktops and GTK themes are now supported under Windows with GTK-Win32 so maybe we can even use this in ReactOS when its ready.
