Well, firstly just because something is deprecated does not mean we can
skip it unfortunately :( As you have already seen, many apps use this API
and will do for years to come.

On the other hand, flat scrollbars are really useless, an entirely new
control for a simple visual style change. There's absolutely no need to
implement this control, other than perhaps to shut up the annoying fixmes,
I think our users will live with 3D scrollbars somehow :)

There are lots of tasks that need to be done in Wine, I'd suggest taking a
look at some and finding one that matches your level of skill. winecfg
always needs hackers ;)
