PK can also use scripts, but AFAIK they're only made by the devs. PoM can use community-sourced scripts to install stuff, so be careful if you try that - plenty easy to infect a Wine prefix.

Porting Kit (PK) does use it internally though, and AFAIK they were taking over development of Wineskin - it was a close second choice for a Wine-based program after I finally tried it. Personally I always used & loved Wineskin but that seems to have become inactive last I checked. PlayOnMac or Porting Kit should work far better for your needs. They try to stick to stable releases and test a bunch before updating, causing even more disparity with the more consistently updated Wine-based projects. WineBottler is very outdated, slow to update to new versions of Wine, and not friendly for even intermediate access to your Wine wrapper/prefix let alone advanced stuff. It will try to connect to login but fail, and continue to do so because it's broken internally (the Steam client on older versions of Wine). This issue was also from long before Steam broke on all older versions of Wine, so it's most likely not going to work at all even with this fix. The '-no-dwrite' launch argument can be used to help fix this as said, or you can just disable dwrite.dll from within Wine's configuration.

This is a known issue with older versions of Wine + the Steam client modern versions of Wine have this fixed and rarely, if ever, have this issue any more. It looks like that's the problem I've got, but I can't see a way to apply the fix when using the WineBottler approach. Which says 'Ensure Steam client is launched as follows.

Mentions a problem: Steam client window(s) do(es)n't render any text. What I mean is I can see the Steam logo, the Valve logo, and what looks like boxes for password and username entry, but not text saying 'Password' or 'User name' or 'Click to continue' or anything like that. Steam-winebottler.app launched fine, did various updates, and eventually gave me what looks like a log-in window without any of the usual text. I clicked on the supplied Steam install button, and ended up with a new application in my application folder - I called it Steam-winebottler.app because I've already got the standard Mac Steam.app. I've just installed the latest WineBottler v2.0 from.
