Wine Utils

Provides easy access to wine's utilities as an applet.

Features

  • Easy access to Wine command prompt, utilities and installed programs.
  • Menu of available launcher applications.
  • Switchable between prefixes, prefixes are found automatically and a list of prefixes can be specified in a file.

New in 1.2.0

  • Prefixes are now automatically found by looking at installed Wine applications.
  • Drive mapping tool, to map drive letters to local paths and network shares.
  • Color editor for Wine, with a feature to import the desktop color theme.
  • Font chooser for Wine that more resembles the system font chooser.
  • Choice between menu items or large icons for launchers and command prompt.
  • Rewritten Run Command with new dialogs.

Prefix List

A list of prefixes can be used by the applet by creating a text file with a prefix path on each line, each line can begin with a name and colon (:) for a label. After creating the file, select it from the applet's preferences.

An example prefix list:

## Comments can be added in the file

Default: ~/.wine

Hello, I tried your applet and I find it very useful. However, when you choose a prefix, if you select one of the tools in "configuration", it is always linked to the default prefix and not to the one that is selected. I also have a suggestion: add, as Q4wine does, a linux console on the prefix.

Hello, thanks for the feedback! I've fixed the bug with the configuration tools being only linked to the default prefix and the fixes should be in the next release. I've also added the terminal as well as file manager on the prefix as additional menu items.

Hi Ed, the bug fix is ​​great when using multiple prefixes, but I'm having other problems with the latest version (1.2.1 from October 21, 2026). Specifically, "Change colors" doesn't open any window, nor does "Custom font," and the same goes for launching a terminal. I'm using Linux Mint 22.3 and Cinnamon 6.6.9. I am willing to do tests if necessary.
