That's because there's nothing to execute. What Stefan meant I think is 
that theme should be in format uxtheme is supposed to understand, but 
actual theme settings could mimic gtk UI elements. This way you won't 
need to have separate uxtheme.dll for every possible UI toolkit. Another 
idea could be to have this theme file could be generated with some tool 
on wine install time for example or regenerated later upon user 
request/or automatically somehow. Anyway, nice concept.
