Hi Roger - you should probably be able to get the icons working too, if you tell WINE to use the "native" gdiplus.dll (the one that is installed alongside moi.exe) instead of its replacement one. Its replacement version doesn't seem to handle scaling properly, and for a while now they've made their replacement one used by default.

Try this - do a "wine regedit" to pull up the WINE registry editor, then go to this registry key (add any sub-keys as needed):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\AppDefaults\MoI.exe\DllOverrides

Inside of that DllOverrides key put a string value named "gdiplus" with a value of "n" .

An n in that spot means "use native dll instead of wine's replacement version".

Does that then work better?


That will get set automatically by MoI v3 when it sees that it is running under WINE and also for MoI v3 you won't need to do any winetricks at all to install IE or anything like that anymore.

The trickiest part seems to be getting a good video driver that gives you 3D acceleration without being buggy. A lot of the video drivers for Linux seem to be pretty unstable.
