Crossover commercial Wine
Crossover is a commercial version of Wine. It has some advantages: installing Office and so on goes much smoother.
What it lacks is the customization of Wine.
- To make some customizations in Crossover:
Go to Menu - Crossover - Run a Windows command, and, after selecting the corresponding bottle, enter regedit (this would have to be done for each specific bottle)
Navigate to and click on the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIGSoftwareFonts.
Double-click on the "LogPixels" value.
Change the base to "Decimal" and enter your desired font size.Note that the font size here isnt measured in standard "points"--the best way to get a size thats right for you is through cautious trial and error. Close the Registry Editor when youre done.
To enlarge the font of the menus, search for ~/.cxoffice/NAME_OF_BOTTLE/drive_c/windows/win.ini, open it in a text editor, add these two lines at the end, and save:
[Desktop]
MenuFontSize=18
Replace the "18" with whatever font size.
(This has to be done for each specific bottle (which I guess is the equivalent of a wineprefix). Each program may have its own bottle which contains its own separate
drive_c and windows folders. Customizations for a certain bottle would have effect only for the programs installed in that bottle. Bottles and the rest of CrossOver is installed in ~/.cxoffice.) --------------------------
If file association is not ok, search in smth like, e.g. for Office, in /.cxoffice/Microsoft Office 2007/desktopdata/cxmenu/StartMenu.C^5E3A^5Fusers^5Fcrossover^5FStart^2BMenu/Programs/Microsoft+Office/; eventually save that script in a more convenient place and add it under Open with option, custom command.
