Using WineCFG in a bottle

Hey There,

So here is the issues I am having. I currently just have a single bottle containing all my Steam games. When I select:

CXGames-> Configuration-> Manage Bottle-> (bottle) Configure-> Control Panel->winecfg

And I set options in the winecfg for certain .exe files in that bottle it has no effect when I actually load the game I have changed options for via Steam. Namely I am trying to have emulate a virtual desktop (options in the display tab) for certain games I want to play Windowed. Is there something more I need to do in CX to make this work properly?

The virtual desktop only works properly for the whole bottle. In theory, you can set it for specific programs, but once any program is running in the bottle, that program's virtual desktop setting governs all programs until they all quit and you start with an idle bottle. Since Steam is always started before any Steam games, the setting for Steam is used (unless something else ran before Steam).
