Creating a Desktop Icon

[opaque]

Hey,

I recently installed wine on my Mac, and I LOVE it!!!
It's great as I can use all of my favorite windows applications on my mac.

The thing is though, I want to run a program with wine, but on a dock icon. So, that I can open it, and when I'm finished, right click it and press "Quit", so that it will quit.
A found a tutorial online, but all this does is create an application that when it opens, uses terminal to run the program with wine, and then the app will close itself. I do not like this, as I find it very annoying.
I would prefer if the app can do everything; so not have to use terminal and "X11" (or is this too much? :/ )

Could anyone suggest a way I could do this?

Thanks

I think Wineskin might do something like that (I haven't used it myself), but it's not possible in plain wine as of now. I have some plans to work on it, but don't hold your breath, could take a year or longer.

Wine requires X11... it has to run through some type of X11 application.

Wineskin will do what you are looking for though since it has its own X11 built in. You create a specific app that runs like a normal Mac app you just double click and run, with its own icon and everything. Just remember that 3rd party programs like this aren't supported in this forum, have to get support from the proper places.

Thanks both of you. I will have a look at wineskin and maybe look at some tutorials or something. If I have any queries about it, I'll go to that link.

Thanks again
