Hopefully they will spend more time on various graphic related issue , opengl&directx, in the near future.

Builtin "Blue" and "Classic Blue" themes.Is this part of the wine windows layout? And if yes, can it be used to work with CSD obligation of gnome wayland? (in cases where the application only has SSD)

Ahh, I was expecting an actual theme, but seems it's just some changed colors.
I wonder why they have done this?

How do you apply the theme? I don't see anything changing from the Windows 95 style interface after selecting "Classic Blue" in winecfg.

That's what I imagined. My doubt is specific to wine running an application directly through wayland, where the app doesn't use CSD (which if I'm not mistake, it's a requirement for gnome wayland for example)
I think SDL devs were having problems with this too since they don't use any kind of native CSD.

Staging.
Games I tested:
Shadows - Awakening (doesnt even launch)
Elderborn (launches but no videos).
For now I've kept these games on a Wine 5.20 staging setup where they work perfectly.
