Additional Comments
To be installed, the WINEPREFIX requires dotnet35sp2.
To get around the skinning issue, you can "disable" or change skins:
1. Install GameMaker normally, then launch it and let it
set itself up. You will notice the skinning makes it
unusable.
2. Go to the wine directory -> .wine/drive_c/users/username/Application Data/GameMaker-Studio/skins and rename GmGreen.col
to GMGreen_backup.col as well as GmGree.skn to
GMGreen_backup.skn.
3. Relaunch GM. You will get an access violation, but GM
should boot and work (albeit kinda ugly).
4. Enter your license, or click to use the free version and
you should have the intro screen. Create a new project
or load a demo. Things should work, but you can now
switch the theme to GM8 which will remove the access
violation and make things look a little cleaner. To do
this go to file-> preferences and click GM8 under the
"Select Skin" option. Restart GameMaker and you should
be good!
