uTorrent 3.1.2 via Wine -> Black background of main panel

Question

As uTorrent for Linux is horrible, I use Windows versions via Wine. But when I start it I get a windows like on the image

Anyone knows how to remove this black background from the main panel?

Answer 1

Goto wine configuration and try diffrent msstyle

now mine is look like this

install win7 msstyle theme

if it wont work goto preferances - ui settings -alternate wall paper

Answer 2

There is a workaround as stated by ax 34noff: workaround i use: Preferences/Advanced/sys.enable_wine_hacks = false torrents list works good ...but free area of it remains black.

Answer 3

you use virtualbox and install on it microsoft windows like xp and the use it only for software that run in windows only

i see this the best solution for program because wine is very best but will take alot of time to solve any problem with it

so try virtualbox and this site https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Answer 4

Go to preferences/Advanced and set sys.enable_wine_hacks to false

Be sure that you are running it with win7, the background of the program remains black but now you can click on the torrents.

Checked with: Ubuntu 12.04, Wine 1.4 and Utorrent 3.2.2
