Correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC Wine theming is already there.

Of course, WINE implementation is quite incomplete and buggy even on Linux itself, so I wouldn't expect any wonders here.

VBox uses hacks for virtualization acceleration. These hacks work only for known operating systems. VBox very badly supports alternative operating systems. You never install ReactOS on VBox! Please, you would use Qemu or VMWare.

Latest arwinss build is not usable for me(tested under VMWare) - some huge memory leak is detected.

A lot of memory leaks have been fixed since the latest version of Arwinns. Maybe after 0.3.14 there will be a new release.

I use VirtualBox all the time, and I've never had a problem. And if I did, it's a simple matter to disable VT-x. I like Vbox.

What leaks are you talking about? Arwinss never had memory leaks IIRC. And now we just have some new leak that looks like is caused by trunk/arwinss incompatiblity.

As for VBox. It's not about hacks. It's because ReactOS has buggy MM. And it's not arwinss problem, it's trunk's problem because MM is shared with both.

Main question is: do you have that crash in trunk too? If yes than there is no point to say "Arwinss crashes during boot" because it's NOT arwinss fault. But if you have crash ONLY with arwinss iso than as i said provide log.

I too use the VBox. This very good application for work with popular operating systems. However, it does not support the ReactOS. The VBox is not compatible to the RectOS.

It is the other way around, as VBox supports Win2003 just fine.

Phew. VM(that emulates hardware, and VBox is hardware emulator) is not supposed to support OS, it is supposed to support PC architecture. And VirtualBox 3.x works ok with reactOS. The reason that ReactOS doesn't work in VBox 4x is some mix of Ros bugs and VBox bugs(features?). But it's not a question of OS support for VirtualBox.
Try yourself. Choose OS type as Linux and install Windows.(or any others combination). Most will work ok (if not all)

100% hardware emulation is the Bochs. It very exact and slow.
The VBox contains optimization for known operating systems. The VBox is fast. However these optimization are badly compatible to alternative operating systems.

Sorry for not being able to reply to all of your comments regarding my crash notification, I was on a field trip for 3 days working...

The crash occurred when I've used the latest ARWINSS build on VBox. Since I'm a mere user and have no idea on how to generate / create a crash log, I can't help you with a deep analysis. What I can tell you is that I've also used the latest ROS trunk on VBox, and THAT worked out just fine.
