Internet Explorer 6 window is gray

Hi, i do some web developing and i need the shitty internet explorer 6 for debugging my web pages.

I installed it using ies4linux and it works great. The only problem is that the window is mostly gray.

Other wine apps like winecfg is working correctly.

I'm using catalyst drivers and my wine version is wine-0.9.53.

---------------------------------------
EDIT:

Well, the problem is that the PKGBUILD on aur is using an old version of ies4linux.

Here is a PKGBUILD of a beta version that works:

Thx all for the help.

Well, now i see the problem, the PKGBUILD on aur is very out of date. While the maintainer sergej doesn't update it ill use my own PKGBUILD version, on some minutes ill post it here.
